As a frequent visitor of the end zone, DK Metcalf understands the NFL often frowns upon elaborate touchdown celebrations. To combat this, the Seattle Seahawks superstar revealed he learned sign language so he could covertly taunt his opponents without worry of a penalty.
And we might have seen an amazing example of this against the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday night.
After Metcalf streaked through the Dallas secondary for an early 73-yard touchdown, he started doing elaborate signs to the TNF camera. It’s not 100 percent, but people seem to believe Metcalf was trash-talking the watching Dallas crowd with his impressive sign language skills. The playmaker seemingly said “stand on business” with his gestures.
Needless to say, we appreciate this commitment to pettiness:

Metcalf truly has a commitment to his craft. Not only does he want to be available for his team in clutch situations, but he also wants to dance on his opponents’ failures. I, for one, can’t think of a better profile for a No. 1 receiver.
