WATCH: Emotional D.K. Metcalf cries while telling his family about incredible NFL Combine performance
The NFL Combine is an important weekend for top draft prospects, as they can improve or lower their stock with only a couple of months to go before April’s NFL Draft.
This year, one of the biggest risers is Ole Miss WR D.K. Metcalf, who looks like a tank and yet still managed to run a 4.33-second 40-yard dash — tied for the third-fastest time among all receivers.
As you can see below, Metcalf got emotional while talking to his family on the phone after his big performance:

Considering this is basically a job interview, Metcalf just made himself millions of dollars. He’s a likely first-round pick, and may even sneak into the top-10 with this showing at the Combine.
Where he ends up remains to be seen, but he’s been a big winner in the pre-draft process.
