The Pittsburgh Steelers acquired an absolute unit of a human being.
D.K. Metcalf has always had a reputation for being one of the strongest players in the National Football League, which is a lot to say, considering that only the biggest specimens make it to the NFL.
That was evident again in a clip shared by Steelers Depot on X.
Metcalf showed that he could casually squat 500 pounds like it was nothing, barely even breaking a sweat through five sets.

The former Seattle Seahawks star will be in for a big year in Pennsylvania.
He won’t have a lot of competition for targets, and even though Aaron Rodgers hasn’t been the same player he was over the past couple of years, we’re still talking about one of the greatest pure passers this game has ever seen.
If his offensive line holds up, Rodgers will have a field day with Metcalf roaming free in the open field.
He’s a speedster and a perennial mismatch who can simply overpower and manhandle his opposition, and with Rodgers drawing defenders offside and making the most of free plays, he should be in for plenty of highlight reels.
It’s not easy to make other NFL players look like average human beings or even small people.
But if Metcalf has proven something from the very first day he set foot in an NFL facility, it is that he’s built differently from most people.
