“He’s the best in the world at what he does,” Wilson said of Metcalf on Thursday during a Zoom call. “He’s continued to evolve into one of the best receivers in the game. Not to be shy about it, I think he is one of the top receivers in the game. He can do it all — he can run by you, he can jump over you, he can get physical with you. … He just approaches the game the right way.”

In four games thus far, Metcalf has 403 receiving yards on 16 receptions. That receiving yards total is second in the NFL and his three receiving touchdowns are tied for ninth.
