New Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf said goodbye to the Seattle Seahawks and the City of Seattle in a heartfelt post on Instagram.
Metcalf, who was drafted by the Seahawks in the 2019 NFL Draft in the second round while experiencing a surprising draft-day fall, gave lots of love to his teammates, staff, and the rest of the organization as he departed after six years.
"Thank you for taking a kid from Mississippi and making him feel at home in the Pacific Northwest. From the city to the organization to the 12s — you’ve been more than just a fanbase. You’ve been family. You’ve given me so much, including the chance to play the game I love alongside some incredible men who will forever be my brothers. To my teammates — you’ve pushed me, believed in me, and let me be me both on and off the field...much love always," Metcalf said.
A two-time Pro Bowler, Metcalf has shined with the Seahawks, and has connections to the Steelers. He played with Russell Wilson, whose moonball helped unlock Metcalf as a deep threat throughout his early years with the Seahawks.
Paired with George Pickens, the Steelers hope to have one of the more dynamic wide receiver rooms in the entire NFL. Pickens is in the last year of his contract.
