Despite just having undergone a procedure to remove a medical screw from his foot, Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf has his sights set on something even bigger than the NFL in the future.
Metcalf is planning on competing in the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.
“I’m in a boot right now so I can’t do too much,” Metcalf told Bleacher Report’s Taylor Rooks. “But, next year, I’m gonna start back training for it every offseason – training for the 100-meter, or the 60-meter, whichever one I decide to do. And then, in 2024, you’ll see me again.
“For sure, it’s gonna happen.”

“Yea, for sure,” Metcalf said. “I’m not just running just to run. I can do that on a track somewhere. I’m trying to go to the Olympics.”
