Seahawks rookie running back Ken Walker got an assist from DK Metcalf on his touchdown run against the Giants this past Sunday.
While Walker was flipping the field and bouncing off tacklers, Metcalf was running a fake fade route that completely fooled cornerback Adoree Jackson, helping to clear a path for Walker into the end zone.
Watch Brian Baldinger break down Metcalf’s acting job.
.@Seahawks @dkm14 with the “fake over the shoulder catch 2X” to help @Kenneth_Walker9 into the ZONE for 5th rushing TD in past 4 weeks. This is award winning acting by DK. Brilliant! #BaldysBreakdowns pic.twitter.com/6MxVgmJb3M

As an added bonus, Jackson let Metcalf know how he felt about it:
Here's a great look at how DK Metcalf deked Giants CB Adoree' Jackson to help clear the way for Ken Walker III on his TD run Sunday. Metcalf said he's been doing this since high school. He laughed when asked if Jackson said anything to him afterwards.
"He said eff you." https://t.co/a9b0CV2Gsz
