Metcalf's physique helped make him an internet sensation. Carroll got to see that physique in person when the former Rebels star arrived shirtless for his interview with Seattle.
"Kind of pissed me off, so I took my shirt off too," Carroll said Friday, per Aaron Levine of Q13 Fox in Seattle. "Not for long."
The team shared a video from the surreal scene:
