The NFL offseason is officially here, but DK Metcalf is still making headlines — the Seahawks star made an insane leaping catch that has the internet buzzin’ … or did he?!
Metcalf went viral for the grab on Friday … when a video posted on Twitter showed the 25-year-old displaying an impressive vertical while making a one-handed catch.
In the clip, Metcalf gives new meaning to the word “airborne,” jumping several feet in the air to snare a ball out of the sky with relative ease.
The problem .. not everyone believes Metcalf pulled off the sick play — insisting there’s no way he got up that high, and that the video had to be doctored or altered.
If anyone could make the catch, though, it’s DK — who has maybe the most unique combination of size, speed and explosion for a WR in the NFL.

He ran the 40-yard dash in 4.33 seconds at the combine before his rookie season in 2019 … and recorded a 40.5-inch vertical jump at the event too. He also famously hawked down Cardinals DB Budda Baker during a legendary play, back in 2020.
So, yeah … we know DK’s an athletic freak — but this catch? Ehh, you be the judge.
