While DK Metcalf did not outright call Okudah a chump, he was not exactly taking the high road like Okudah did when discussing Metcalf and Tyler Lockett, saying they were “two great receivers.”.

Okudah also discussed how preparation is key in a battle with someone like Metcalf.

“Get in the weight room (and) stretch your hamstrings out, it’s going to be a nice little battle.”
