Metcalf met with Buffalo Bills at NFL CombineThe Buffalo Bills have met with top receiver prospect D.K. Metcalf at the NFL Combine, the player shared with reporters. Lucas Oil Stadium buzzed on Saturday as the workout warrior delivered viewers a spectacle in each phase. After revealing a body sculpted from marble the previous day, the 6’3” 228 lb receiver blew away his competition in the timed drills on the day. Metcalf ran an absolutely blazing 4.33 forty-yard dash that was only bested by speedsters Parris Campbell and Andy Isabella. His 40.5” vertical was only bested by two receivers (Miles Boykin and Emanuel Hall), and his 11’2” broad jump ranked fifth. Metcalf, healthy following a season-ending neck injury, proved that he could be an elite vertical threat in the NFL. Prior to his injury, Metcalf had 26 catches for 569 yards and five touchdowns in seven games from his redshirt sophomore year.The Bills have receivers Robert Foster Logan Thomas Jerseys 2019 , Zay Jones, Isaiah McKenzie, Ray-Ray McCloud, Victor Bolden, and Cam Phillips returning from last year’s team. That group of six combined for ten receiving touchdowns and 1417 receiving yards last year. The offense needs playmakers in the worst way, and Metcalf could be the best option in the draft. Captain Munnerlyn is not the first former Panther to make his way to Buffalo, following the path beaten by coach Sean McDermott, General Manager Brandon Beane and numbers of players.Munnerlyn is, however Youth Zay Jones Jerseys , the most vocal.The veteran cornerback told Vic Carucci of the he was fired up about the Bills’ joint practices with the Panthers this week, as a chance to show his old team he can still play. The Panthers released Munnerlyn this offseason as they went younger.“I’m definitely going to have a little edge on me,” Munnerlyn said. “But at the same time, I’m going to be smart about it. But I’m going to make some plays. You can guarantee when I make the plays, they’re going to know about it.”The 31-year-old Munnerlyn did two stints with the Panthers, beginning as a seventh-round draft pick in 2009. He left in free agency for the Vikings, but came back as part of former G.M. Dave Gettleman’s anti-youth movement in 2017. The Panthers also parted ways with veterans such as Thomas Davis this offseason, and Munnerlyn carries a bit of a grudge.“It was disappointing because I always played my contracts out,” he said. “A seventh-round pick Zay Jones Jerseys Stitched , to make it 10 years in the league is already a blessing, but the first time I got released was then and it was disappointing because I felt like I could have still helped those guys out a lot. I feel like I’m still young, I’ve got a lot of football left in me.“A lot of you [reporters] are probably [saying], ‘Oh, he’s old, he’s 31. How much does he have left in the tank?’ I got a lot left in the tank, man. I prepared myself well this offseason to get in shape and prepared myself mentally to get ready to play football for a long time.”The Bills needed help in the slot after losing E.J. Gaines to a season-ending core-muscle injury. Munnerlyn has played well there in the past, and he’s certainly motivated — again — to prove he belongs.
