DK Metcalf produces an ‘INSANE’ and effortless leaping one-handed catch high in the air before NFL player puts on dunk clinic in NBA Celebrity All-Star Game… but is his attempt real?
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf went viral for a seemingly superman catch posted to social media Friday.
Metcalf, who played in the NBA’s Celebrity All-Star Game that evening, sent Twitter into a stir as he leapt for a one-handed catch which may well be the definition of jumping out of the gym.
There is no real consensus as to whether the video has been doctored. Though there are questions over its validity as Metcalf is seen barely bending his knees before launching himself into the atmosphere above.
The footage is originally from a Fast Twitch Super Bowl LVII event on February 9, in the days leading up to the big game.
Metcalf has not spoken on the viral video, however Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons tweeted his reaction, saying: ‘Nah this is insane!’
