I'm very interested to see what happens with Metcalf playing with a new QB - and frankly just in general. Dude is crazy talented, but he still doesn't seem entirely complete. He was generally well-suited to Wilson's strengths, but a QB who doesn't go downfield as much may not be able to utilize him to the same extent. Or, conversely, a QB who hits him earlier in the route may maximize his talents a bit more. I don't know, but curious to see.
His only issue really has been drops from time to time. Sometimes he will body catch balls. At least that seemed to be an issue early on his rookie season. I think he has improved on that however.
Last year he dealt with a foot injury for a good chunk of the season. But still played through it. So that's why his production seemed to be down a little. Wilson was injured. But the chemistry just seemed off between the two for whatever reason. He's still only 24. So he can get better. He's also a tremendous blocker due in part to his size. He doesn't really have any real weakness. Other than running a three-cone drill.
If Drew Lock is the starter, then I think it's a match. Will definitely be interesting to see how that develops.
