Video: DK Metcalf Swings Helmet At Teammate During Middle Of Practice
We've already seen several fights among teams at NFL training camps this season, and Wednesday was no different.
During a segment at Seahawks camp, NFL Network cameras captured part of a dust-up between Seattle players on the field.
Seahawks star receiver DK Metcalf appeared to swing a helmet at one of his teammates, Myles Garrett-style, hitting him in the top of the head.
Other teammates eventually restrained Metcalf, keeping him from doing further damage with his helmet.
Metcalf's fiery personality has hurt the Seahawks on the field, leading to several personal conduct penalties during his career.
He was even ejected from a game against the San Francisco 49ers last year after pushing 49ers defensive back Deommodore Lenoir.
Unfortunately, it seems that the issues have lasted into the offseason and they're now affecting his teammates.
Metcalf was adamant that he wouldn't change the way he plays last season, even after being hit with multiple penalties and fines.
"I'm doing pretty good if I look at it and judge myself, how I play," said the star wide receiver following a game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
"I just try to be consistent and have clean hands or whatever the case may be, but I'm not going to change who I am as a player or a person."
Metcalf's use of a helmet as a weapon may be the most egregious example, but there have been multiple fights in the NFL this offseason.
The New York Giants and Detroit Lions have both been fined $200K for multiple fights at joint practices this week, and the Cowboys and Bengals have also had dust-ups ahead of their preseason debuts.
We'll see if the Seahawks decide to administer any discipline to Metcalf after his actions were seen on national television on Wednesday.
