Although Metcalf didn't earn a spot in the final, he did pick up the respect of sprinters who were out to prove that track speed was far different from football fast. The 6-foot-4 Metcalf ran 4.33 in the 40-yard dash at the NFL combine before the 2019 draft. Metcalf made up nearly 10 yards on Baker and reached a top speed of 22.64 mph in pads and cleats. Rodgers had said he would be impressed if Metcalf ran under 10.2 seconds. Asked if his time might encourage him to take the track again, Metcalf smiled and responded, "I've got minicamp to go to."
