Seattle Seahawks star DK Metcalf was asked by the NFL to submit to a drug test after a video of him jumping at a Super Bowl event went viral.
Alongside the viral video, Metcalf also made headlines recently when he starred in the NBA All-Star Celebrity game, earning himself MVP honours with a 20-point performance.
It is likely the jumping video, combined with his NBA All-Star performance, contributed to the league asking the 25-year-old to take a performance enhancing substance test.

In a text which Metcalf posted a screenshot of to his Instagram story, the NFL told the wide receiver he had been selected for a PES test.

The text read: “Good Morning DK. This is Brian Keller on behalf of the NFL you’ve been selected for a PES policy collection tomorrow 2/20/23. Please contact me as soon as possible so that we may arrange a time and place to meet tomorrow.”
Of course, anyone who is familiar with Metcalf’s game on the field knows just how much of a physical freak the Seahawks star is – to the point it almost seems to be unfairly monitored when it comes to being asked to take a PES test.

Selected in 2019 in the second round of the NFL draft, Metcalf wowed evaluators at the NFL scouting combine when he ran a blistering 40 yard dash in just 4.33 seconds.
At 6ft4 235lbs, the then Ole Miss prospect catapulted himself up draft boards around the league with that performance, which eventually led to him landing in Seattle.
Since then, Metcalf has gone on to become one of the best wide receivers in the NFL, even earning second team All-Pro honours back in 2020 for his 1,303 yard receiving season.
