Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf made headlines today with his incredible athleticism. Metcalf stunned viewers by making a fabulous one-handed catch in a viral video and scoring the first points in tonight’s Celebrity All-Star Game.

DK Metcalf frequently attracts attention for his enviable physique (6’4″, 225 lb.) and athletic ability. He ran a 4.33 40-yard dash and registered a 40.5-inch vertical jump at the NFL combine. Shortly after the combine, he gained national attention when a photo of him with Philadlephia Eagles receiver AJ Brown went viral.

One-Handed Grab

Earlier today, Metcalf started trending on Twitter thanks to a video of him practicing catches. But this wasn’t just another ordinary grab. The video shows Metcalf leaping in the air to catch a pass from a person not seen on the screen. When the ball came to him, Metcalf leaped in the air at what looked to be an impossible height, coming down with a one-handed grab as his legs stretched out. Some fans believed the feat was too good to be real. One USA TOday writer asked, “I mean, was this thing taken on the moon?’

All-Star Game

Tonight, Metcalf participated in the NBA Celebrity All-Star Game, as part of NBA All-Star Weekend. He scored the first points of the game. According to Uproxx, “The Pro Bowl pass catcher got the ball in the open court and only had Diamond DeShields of the Dallas Wings standing between himself and the rim.” DeShields got out of his way, which cleared the path for Metcalf to throw down a one-handed dunk:

Metcalf had nine points and seven rebounds before he scored with another dunk. After being fouled in the fourth quarter, he hits a free throw to tie the game at 66. Then, with 4:12 left in the fourth, a player from Team Dwyane got a steal and threw to a wide-open Metcalf for a four-point dunk.
