Terrence Metcalf's NFL career

Terrence was drafted by the Chicago Bears in 2002. The older Metcalf was brought in to play the guard position for the Bears, a position that he excelled at in college. Terrence appeared for the Bears from 2002-08 and proceeded to spend time with both the Detroit Lions and New Orleans Saints during training camp in 2009 and 2010. However, he only appeared for one franchise, the Chicago Bears, in his NFL career. Terrence eventually retired from the league in 2010 to pursue other ventures.

As for his son, DK Metcalf, DK was drafted by the Seattle Seahawks in round two of the 2019 NFL Draft. DK Metcalf had a stellar NFL Combine, and he was viewed as a steal in the second round due to his undeniable physical gifts.
