DK Metcalf produces an ‘INSANE’ and effortless one-handed catch in the air before the NFL player performs the dunk clinic at the NBA Celebrity All-Star Game… but is his attempt real?
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf went viral for a seemingly superman sack posted on social media Friday.
Metcalf, who played in the NBA Celebrity All-Star Game that night, caused a stir on Twitter when he jumped up to catch a handball that might as well be the definition of jumping out of the gym.
There is no real consensus on whether the video has been doctored. Though there are questions about its validity, as Metcalf is seen barely bending his knees before launching 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 about the viral video, however Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons tweeted his reaction, saying, “Nah, this is crazy!”

‘I had to come back to this [laugh emoji] bra is this for a commercial?’
Metcalf managed to show off his athletic prowess on the basketball court Friday night and dunked en route to winning the celebrity showcase MVP.
The 25-year-old stood up for a rejection of actor Everett Osbourne, as part of Team Dwyane.
Dwyane Wade’s team defeated Utah Jazz owner Ryan Smith, Team Ryan 81-78 after a late rally.
Metcalf was named MVP after scoring 20 points and 10 rebounds, but his dunk catalog was most fascinating.
The former Ole Miss product has wowed the sports world before, with his famous pursuit 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 wild card to division rivals San Francisco.
He finished the regular season with 1,048 receiving yards, 90 receptions, and six touchdowns.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson also questioned the reality of the crazy video.
The 25-year-old had another productive year for Seattle in the NFK, registering more than 1,000 yards.
