A few weeks ago DK Metcalf, the wide receiver of the Seattle Seahawks appeared on the Club Shay Shay Podcast. Shannon Sharpe, the host of the podcast had asked DK about who is faster between him and Tyreek. DK didn’t hesitate a bit and was quite confident in himself, that he is faster than the former Chiefs’ receiver.

DK’s statements deserved a response from Tyreek Hill, and he was quick to it. Tyreek openly challenged DK Metcalf through one of his tweets and kept a winning prize of $50,0000.
