The Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night traded to acquire Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf, a shocking but extremely satisfying offseason move for lovers of the black and gold ... as well as coach Mike Tomlin.
Turns out, Tomlin has been a fan of Metcalf's for some time now, as evidenced by an old mic'd up clip that the NFL shared on Monday afternoon.
In the video, Tomlin is heard praising Metcalf on the sidelines of a contest vs. the Seahawks, saying, "DK a hustlin' son of a b----, man. He is, man. He is. ... Don't sleep on him."
Later, the coach and the receiver are shown dapping each other up, before the video cuts to an exchange after the match-up, at which point Tomlin tells the Seahawk he's got "nothing but respect for you, man," and to "keep living."
Watch that below:
Aaron Rodgers will be in Steelers colors soon enough has agreed to terms with the New York Jets.
