When the Steelers landed DK Metcalf in a blockbuster trade and locked him down with a five-year, $150 million deal in March, Pittsburgh fans were over the moon. But just a few weeks later, one viral video has flipped the mood completely. DK’s arrival at the team facility was meant to be a feel-good moment. Instead, his dead-serious face and low energy sparked a wave of memes, fan concern, and speculation that he’s already regretting the move.
The clip that started it all: DK Metcalf looked absolutely over it on day one in Pittsburgh
The video, posted by the Steelers' official X (formerly Twitter) account, was supposed to be a standard “Welcome to the squad” post. Instead, it showed DK Metcalf walking into the facility stone-faced, hands in pockets, barely looking up. No smile, no dap, no excitement. Fans were hyped when Pittsburgh signed DK Metcalf. But now, one video has everyone asking, does he even want to be here?
It wasn’t just one or two comments, it was a flood of reactions all saying the same thing: Metcalf’s vibe screamed “get me out of here.”
Pittsburgh’s shaky QB situation might be the reason behind DK Metcalf’s somber energy
Here’s the real tea: while Metcalf is a Pro Bowl-level wide receiver, the Steelers still don’t have a solid quarterback to throw him the ball. At the moment, their QB room includes Mason Rudolph and Skylar Thompson, with the hope that the 2025 NFL Draft will add someone more promising.
Fans expected a big-name vet, maybe even Aaron Rodgers but that hasn’t happened. And if you’re DK Metcalf, used to catching bombs from Russell Wilson and Geno Smith, this QB drop-off might feel like a nightmare.
If the Steelers don’t fix their QB situation, this could become a full-on saga. But if Pittsburgh grabs a franchise quarterback in the draft or signs a vet late in free agency, it might be just the spark DK needs to feel fired up again.
