who do you have greater expectations for?

Metcalf....dude is linebacker sz playing wr, id imagine thats how lebron would look if he was playing football

No idea who the first guy is, DK looks like a really good WR but Zion's potnetial if he stays healthy is that of an all time nba superstar that outshines even elite NFL wr's.

Say DK Metcalf turns into a modern version of Randy Moss, thats an awesome player but Zion could be something like a Charles Barkley/Larry Johnson hybrid and that will top an elite WR in the NFL, NBA Superstars are more like elite QB's in the NFL in terms of value/importance to team. You can have a great WR and still have a bad offense if the QB can't get the guy the ball, a superstar QB can elevate his receivers/team like how a LeBron can an NBA team.

taller but metcalf is a monster

Never heard of any of these guys so I'm going Zion by default.

What?
Are you really talking about 3 diferent guys from 3 different sports?

I'm sure from the non American view most don't even know who Metcalf?! Is... i didn't know until i search for.

And for Americans, most don't even know who Haland is...

US born citizen here and I don't even know who that football (US football) player is. Then again I couldn't name you 5 NFL guys. The sport is about as entertaining to me as a wall with fresh paint.

DK is a very good receiver but there are guys with comparable athletic profiles to him (julio jones, calvin johnson) that were also more productive than him so far.

zion is truly a unicorn, more like aaron donald would be considered in the NFL.

Who the hell are these guys that aren’t named Zion?

Im not sure I would say Calvin and Julio were more productive than DK to start their careers.

Rookie years:
Calvin: 756 yards, 4 touchdowns
Julio: 959 yards, 8 touchdowns
DK: 900 yards, 8 touchdowns

2nd year:
Calvin: 1331 yards, 12 touchdowns
Julio: 1198 yards, 10 touchdowns
DK: 788 yards, 8 touchdowns in just half the season. So on pace for 1576 yards and 16 touchdowns

I also think the strength level separates Calvin and DK from Julio. Not saying Julio isnt a strong WR, but the other two are on a different level.

I do agree that Aaron Donald is a freak that doesnt get mentioned enough. 6'1 290 pounds and completely shredded and just freakish quickness. His reaction time and quickness is just ridiculous and he does have the record for fastest 40 time for a DT.

Haaland. If he is anything less than the undisputed best goalscorer in the world in a couple years it would be a shock. He's already almost there.

Who are these people?

The guy that plays an actual sport. (Zion)

This question is insane.

Is it possible that Zion is actually 3rd? Metcalf is a 2nd year player and absolutely broke down the current DPOY Gilmore physically and mentally like I've never seen before. 6'3 230lbs running 4.3 speed.

Haland is a freak of nature too and just so flatout dominant.

Haland #1 just because he's arguably already the best striker in the world w/ Lewa and Kane. Metcalf is teetering on the edge of top 5 wr's, Zion isn't there yet.

Haland > Metcalf > Zion

Aj Brown >metcalf

Haaland is already scoring as frequently as the best strikers ever at 20. He's like the Doncic of soccer.
Zion still has so many question marks.
I don't know who Metcalf is.

nah, Haaland it’s great, but there’s so many talents in the world, no way he’ll become undisputed best striker in the world
Also most important of all, you probably forgot Mbappe who’s just almost 2 year older

Zion to me, but I dont know who Metcalf is or what sport he plays, Halland is great, but lets wait a bit before we proclaim him next Lewandowski or something, he is on a hotstreak for sure, but Zion is probably top 3 basketball athlete we have ever seen in our lives.

There's definitely a chance he'll become the best striker in the world noone has ever scored as much in his first 10 CL games regardless of age

Let me clarify myself, one of the best? Yes
undisputedly the best? no,10 games don’t define a career , and with Mbappe around, and also young talent like Joao Felix, Ansu Fati etc. or whoever rise to star stage in the future, it’s always will be debatable who’s the better player, just like Ronaldo & Messi
