Things Got Weird During Our Aaron Donald/DK Metcalf Interview
Mr. Cat: We have a guest question we want to do, so Brandon, come over here. Why don't you sit over there right next to DK.
DK Metcalf: He was eyeing me when I walked in. I figured you had something up your sleeve.
Mr. Cat: So, Brandon is going to ask a guest question. Brandon Walker, for those who don't know, go ahead.
Brandon Walker: Hi DK, big fan. So, you played at morally bankrupt Ole Miss in college. Can you make a comment on the fact that you guys had a losing record to arch rival Mississippi State while you were there?
DK Metcalf: The games I played in?
Brandon Walker: You were 1-2.
Mr. Cat: I don't know if you can tell, but Brandon Walker is from West Point, Mississippi.
DK Metcalf: Ewwww.
Mr. Cat and Mr. Commenter: Hahahaha.
Next, we have the topic of potential NFL Draft busts. Mr. Cat asked Aaron Donald a question he knew the answer to the whole time:
Mr. Cat: We were talking, Aaron, before you got here, people were saying DK was going to be a draft bust. Did you have anyone who came out and said something negative about you when you were... like anything you have as a chip on your shoulder?
Aaron Donald: I'm not sure, but I'm pretty sure there was. A lot of people considered me undersized for my position, so there were a lot of doubters that think I'm not going to have success in the league, but you just go out there, you play ball.
Mr. Cat: I actually have one right here: "Aaron Donald, have fun trying to be good at football with a pussy name like Aaron, BUST."
Aaron Donald: Who said that?
Mr. Cat: Me.
(Everybody starts cracking up)
And finally, an awkward/hilarious/great chain of events leading up to last year's NFL combine:
Mr. Cat: Was it weird when Pete Carroll took his shirt off with you in the combine interview?
DK Metcalf: Yeah, it was weird.
Mr. Cat: Can you explain that story, like how did it go down?
DK Metcalf: They had a scout that was my group leader and he was like, "When you come to our meeting, take your shirt off." I was like, "Na, I can't do that, bro." He was like, "Yeah, do it, he'll be fired up about it." So I was like, "Alright, I'll do it." So, I walked in with my shirt off and he took his shirt off and we're two shirtless men...
Mr. Cat: Just hanging out.
Mr. Commenter: Just guys being dudes.
Mr. Cat: You want to take your our shirts off right now?
Mr. Commenter: Let's all take our shirts off?
Mr. Cat: I'll take my shirt off. You don't want to see this, too much man?
Mr. Commenter: I'll get started with it. You always have to have one guy that starts the party.
Mr. Cat: My nipples, by the way, are very large. Don't look. You looked right at my chest there, DK.
Mr. Commenter: I've got four nipples.
Mr. Cat: Alright, go ahead, take your shirts off.
DK Metcalf: Y'all are 35. Chill out. Put your shirts back on.
Mr. Cat: Yeah, that was kind of awkward.
All in all, this ended up being a unique but great interview. Nobody really knew how it would turn out, but that's what make this fun. Questions all over the place, random interactions, and more.
