Seahawks' Russell Wilson Praises 'Amazing' DK Metcalf After USATF Golden Games

DK Metcalf can chase down Budda Baker in the open field, but he still isn't quite Olympic fast.

At least he has his quarterback's support.

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson shouted out Metcalf after the wide receiver ran a 100-meter heat in 10.36 seconds at Sunday's USATF Golden Games. The time was good enough for ninth place in a nine-man field, meaning he isn't going to the Olympics:

"To test my speed up against world class athletes like this," he said on the NBC broadcast. "Like I said, just having the opportunity to run against these guys was just a blessing."

Wilson wasn't the only NFL player to offer support:

According to Olympic Talk a 10.16 would have been good enough to qualify for the 2016 Games.
