Star wide receiver DK Metcalf of the Seattle Seahawks has a reputation for being a hot head, which has cost his team in the form of penalty yards over the years.
He made the brilliant decision to figure out how to overcome that.
Seahawks WR DK Metcalf was on the @richeisen show yesterday and said on his off days he is ASL classes. American Sign Language.
“I kept getting flags for my mouthing, so, got sign my shit talkin now” 😂 💀

Metcalf found a clever way to let his fury out. Metcalf discussed on the Rich Eisen Show how he studied American Sign Language in order to avoid getting flagged by the referees for stuff like trash talk.
Over the weekend, Metcalf made fun of Los Angeles Rams cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon by using sign language.
