Last Sunday, Pete Carroll found himself in his driveway setting up cones so his grandchildren could race each other.
Their inspiration?
Seahawks receiver DK Metcalf, who earlier that day showed that he could hang with some of the top sprinters in the country when he ran the 100-yard dash in the USA Track & Field Golden Games. The whole family was sitting around watching it on the iPad; we were all huddled around just to see what was going to happen, would he be able to pull it off? Carroll said following Saturday s rookie minicamp practice. We re cheering for him, and within five minutes the grandkids and I were out there setting up the cones and we were doing races out in the driveway, just like DK.
