Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf tested his speed against some of the fastest track athletes the country has to offer on Sunday during the USA Track and Field Golden Games. Metcalf finished with a time of 10.36 seconds, good for ninth in his heat. A sub-10.05 second 100-meter dash would have automatically qualified Metcalf for next month's Olympic Trials. Still, he held his own and the time was impressive for any athlete, let alone one with a build of 6'4" and 235 pounds. Here's how social media reacted to the performance:

10.36 at 230+ when you train year around for a different sport is just insane. I hope people understand that. https://t.co/EFNTRnfEOk

DK was excellent reacting to the gun & staying w/t pack to a 10.3high at 235lbs. Notice his 2nd step places wide slightly out the blocks, takes his 1st 5-6 steps to gather his legs & turnover his power. Look @ lane 4,5,7. Turnover rate quicker in arms/legs. That’s the difference. https://t.co/gCbfcKa5wG

Anyone talkin bad about DK Metcalf is a hater. Boy lined up against professional track athletes who do this for a living and held his own. Although he finished 9th in his heat, 10.36 is sliding. Respect fam you an alien @dkm14 ✊🏾💯 might of been top 5 if it was 60 meters 🔥🔥🔥

Truthfully I wish we had more DK’s in this world... you know that humble confidence, That God Confidence.... Each of us can be whatever we want, we should not listen to those who do not encourage to inspire us.... More Glory! @dkm14
