Asante Samuel Sr. Urges Steelers to Shift DK Metcalf to Slot Role for 2026 Season
Former NFL cornerback and two-time Super Bowl champion Asante Samuel Sr. has advised the Pittsburgh Steelers to utilize DK Metcalf more in the slot position for the 2026 season. Samuel believes this strategic move would alleviate pressure on Aaron Rodgers and help Metcalf overcome challenging press coverage.
Metcalf, a high-profile acquisition for the Steelers, is expected to be a key offensive weapon. His performance, whether from the slot or outside, will be critical to the success of the team’s new offensive system under coach Mike McCarthy.
