DK Metcalf to Undergo NFL Drug Test After NBA Celebrity Game MVP Award, Viral Video

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf was contacted by NFL officials for an offseason drug test, just days after video of his leaping ability was showcased in a viral video.

Metcalf's physical prowess was on full display over the past week, with one viral video of him leaping catching a pass getting a ton of attention, along with his brilliant performance in the 2023 NBA All-Star Celebrity Game.

NFL drug tests are random during the offseason, and players can be tested up to six times. The fact that Metcalf showed up on drug testing lists was a mere coincidence, but a funny one at that.

Metcalf set a career high in 2022 with 90 receptions for 1,048 yards and six touchdowns, his second 1,000-yard receiving season. He was part of a surprisingly stellar Seattle offense led by Geno Smith, who took over as quarterback following Russell Wilson's offseason trade to the Denver Broncos.

Smith's ascent to Pro Bowl status came in no small part thanks to having a physically dominant receiver like Metcalf on the outside.

That said, it appears we'll be able to confirm Metcalf was doing all of his athletic heroics on the up-and-up soon enough.
