Metcalf can run fast in a straight line. But he doesn't stop and go, cut corners, or make breaks well at all. And that is how a WR get's open. I think Metcalf is another John Ross, but stronger physically.

Calvin Johnson had terrible COD skills but was able to get open by taking advantage of his size and speed. If you take Metcalf and use him like Johnson, you'll have a great player (barring injury). If he runs slants (size), curls (size, speed), posts (speed) and flys (size, speed), he'll have monster production. He's not a COD guy, and you have to be okay with using him that way, but Calvin Johnson showed that a player with Metcalf's skillset can be very productive in the NFL.
