Football star DK Metcalf was fast, but not fast enough at the USATF Golden Games track meet May 8 in Walnut, Calf.
The Seattle Seahawks’ wide receiver covered the 100 meters in 10.37 seconds but finished ninth out of nine in a world-class field.
Cravon Gillespie won the semifinal heat in 10.12 seconds and then won the finals in 9.96.
The 6-foot-4, 225-pound Metcalf earned All- Pro honors this past season for Seattle, catching passes from quarterback Russell Wilson.
Prior to entering the NFL, Metcalf ran 40 yards in 4.33 at the NFL Pre-Draft Combine.
