NFL star DK Metcalf’s ‘insane’ leaping one-handed catch… is it 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!’

The Seahawks wideout made a one-handed catch ridiculously high in the air look effortless. 

Metcalf managed to show off his athletic prowess on the basketball court Friday night and threw down dunks en route to winning MVP of the celebrity exhibition. 

The 25-year-old got up for a rejection on actor Everett Osbourne, as part of Team Dwyane.

Dwyane Wade’s team defeated Utah Jazz owner Ryan Smith’s, Team Ryan 81-78 following a late rally. 

Metcalf was named MVP after scoring 20 points and 10 rebounds, but his catalogue of dunks were most mesmerizing. 

The former Ole Miss product has wowed the sports world before, with his famous chase down of Arizona Cardinals safety Budda Baker one of the most memorable plays of the 2010 NFL season. 

Metcalf had another solid season for the Seahawks in 2022, as the young team made a surprise playoff berth in the NFC, ultimately losing in the Wildcard to division rivals San Francisco. 

He finished the regular season with 1,048 receiving yards, 90 receptions and six touchdowns.  

The 25-year-old had another productive year for Seattle in the NFK, registering over 1,000 yds
