A season-long neck injury in 2018 was not enough for D.K. Metcalf to stop dreaming for an exceptional future in the NFL. Rightly so, the 21-years-of-age kid has big shoes to fill laid by his former NFL star father.
Considered as ‘the hulk’ of American football, D.K. Metcalf is so early in his sports career. However, his physical appearance and immense passion for the game assuredly contend him as a breakthrough NFL star in the future.
D.K. Metcalf’s Bio: Age, Father, Height
D.K. Metcalf, also known by his birth name DeKaylin Zecharius Metcalf, was born on 14 December 1997 in Oxford, Mississippi. The 22-years-of-age American native is the son to his former NFL player father, Terrence Metcalf, and loving mother, Tonya Metcalf. Terrence played as an offensive lineman in the NFL for over seven seasons during the early 2000s. DeKaylin grew up alongside his four siblings.

As of his educational background, Metcalf attended Oxford High School in Oxford, Mississippi. There on, he initiated his football career and later got enrolled in the University of Mississippi.
The young prospect has strong physics with a height of 6 feet and 3 inches (1.91m) and he weighs at 103 kg (228 lbs).
Metcalf registered the career stats of 224 receptions for 3,302 yards and 49 touchdowns during his high school. Following that, he kicked off his college career with Ole Miss Rebels as a wide receiver in 2016. Unfortunately, the talented freshman suffered a season-ending foot injury after playing just two games.
Net year, Metcalf came strong and recorded 39 receptions for 646 yards and seven touchdowns in 2017. Meanwhile, he was going good with 26 receptions for 569 yards before sustaining another season-ending neck injury in a match against Arkansas in 2018. However, his college stats of 67 receptions for 1228 yards and 14 touchdowns were enough for Metcalf to book his place in 2019 NFL Draft, which takes place on April 25-27.

The preparation for the draft is going well for Metcalf as he recently recorded a 4.33 40-yard dash, a 40.5-inch vertical leap, and an 11-foot-2 broad jump at the 2019 NFL Scouting Combine.
