OT DK Metcalf wants to be in the Olympics

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

Oh I'm sure he can but at a certain point improvements in sprints get smaller and smaller as you fine tune the mechanics of running.

I think he can get faster but I don't think he can get fast enough to qualify for the Olympics which he said was his goal. I actually didn't think he was serious I thought he was just trying to get some publicity but finding out he trained for nearly 12 weeks makes me think he was serious.

He apparently has said he won't go any further he has to get ready for training camp now and realizes sprint training is not the way to do that.

I give him lots of credit for that, he's not going to let this sidetrack his NFL career

Definitely not Olympiad, but possible chance at trials...auto qualify is 10.05.
With full time training and racing, of course...

It just looks awkward when someone that tall is running. Bolt notwithstanding.

Still the greatest race ever:

That’s impressive. Look at his size compared to the other guys. Those sprinters who couldn’t wait to teach him a lesson should just be happy he plays football as I’m not sure he wouldn’t smoke them if he dedicated purely to sprinting.

I agree. At 40-50m, he was on the pace. If he took up this sport seriously...

I googled that it said the pic on the left is from Aug 2018. Can't be true he can't have gotten that much bigger that fast he was a rookie in 2019. That has to be from 2016 or 2017?

I had a workout partner that went from a lank 195 to a shredded 245 in six months.... it can be done without juice

He was respectable. He’s near world class speed. I’m sure if he trained seriously he could run 10.1 maybe 10- flatish...

Yeah, but that is nowhere near Bolt.

If I were the Seahawks I would do everything I could to talk him out of continuing on.

Bob Hayes (Hall of Fame) is the fastest player in NFL history. At the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Hayes won the 100 meters and broke the existing World Record with a time of 10.06 seconds.

Thats physically impossible to do naturally according to studies I've seen. Hell the juicers I know never added pure muscle that fast.

I think you underestimate how easy it is to get juice.

I still think he can run faster. Staying in his drive phase longer and leaning are two ways he could shave another tenth to 2 tenths off his time. Additionally, he would get better with more races under his belts as well. No amount of training can substitute for races. I am pretty impressed.

Isabella would get him if he trained

I didn't read it but realize it's not like Metcalf had never worked out before and then after going on a program got stronger. he'd been in college, at a school, notorious for weight training.

But again I just don't believe the dates Google shows for that first pic, he had to be in HS or just arrived on campus there's no way he got that much bigger in 18 months when he had a neck injury during part of that time.
