DK Metcalf fails to advance to 100m final in track debut

DK Metcalf didn’t embarrass himself in his professional track debut.

It will be tough to beat the 2020 draft’s unexpectedly great theater, but five quarterbacks populating the upper reaches of this year’s Round 1 absolutely creates some early drama.
