Mike Holmgren says DK Metcalf’s maturity level needs to change

DK Metcalf is the most talented player on the Seahawks’ roster. That much has been made clear by what he’s accomplished his first four seasons in the NFL.

During the regular season Metcalf posted 90 catches, 1,048 yards and scored six touchdowns. However, he’s also gotten into a few tiffs with opponents, most recently Rams cornerback Jalen Ramsey.

Metcalf was lucky not to get flagged for that particular taunt, but he has drawn several penalties for similar incidents – including a personal foul for head-butting Ramsey back in December.
