Happy New Year, as our Blog enters the ninth year of Sportsman of the Week, we have a winner who was only 13 when all of this started. The Seattle Seahawks are a team recently counted out. For several years not much home field advantage. Rebuilt defense, too young and too old talent on offense. But it was their youngest playmaker that carried them to the Division Round of the NFL Playoffs. Rookie Wide Receiver D.K. Metcalf put his team on his back and carried them to victory at the Philadelphia Eagles. Metcalf made critical catch after critical catch for an NFL Playoff rookie record 160 yards on 7 catches and a TD. His 53-yeard TD catch in the 3rd quarter seemed to build the hill so high the backup QB-led Eagles didn't have much of a chance. Metcalf is a beast that should end up as an elite receiver in the league, but was the story of the Wildcard weekend and is the Longhorndave Sportsman of the Week!
