DK Metcalf is the NFL leader in receiving yards this season in a close race. Metcalf has 1,119 receiving yards coming out of Week 13, with four more weeks left in the regular season.
The Seattle Seahawks would select wide receiver DK Metcalf out of Ole Miss with the 64th pick in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft. It was a surprise that DK Metcalf fell to the second round when he was ranked towards the top of the class in his position. Metcalf put together a great campaign at Ole Miss and has carried that over to the NFL.

DK Metcalf, the new 'Megatron'
DK Metcalf's success during the 2020 NFL Season has drawn people to compare him to former Detroit Lions star Calvin Johnson, a.k.a. "Megatron."
The two wide receivers are built almost the same and both give defensive backs nightmares. Metcalf is probably the faster of the two wide outs but Johnson has better catching ability.
It is hard to compare wide receivers with all the rule changes that the NFL has made over the past few years. Calvin Johnson and DK Metcalf are playing in two different leagues it seems like. This does not take away from either of their successful careers in the NFL. It would be a treat to watch a game with both DK Metcalf and Calvin Johnson squaring off with each other.
