There are some similarities to work with, namely in that both men boast impressive physiques. Metcalf measures in at 6'4" and 229 pounds and is one of the most physically imposing wideouts in the NFL. James comes in at 6'9" and 250 pounds and is one of the most impressive athletes in the history of the sport, matching unparalleled strength and speed with an incredible basketball mind.

Granted, Metcalf has a long way to go before he can be considered anywhere close to James' actual level as a player or cultural icon. But catching the eye of King James counts for something.
