From the episode

DK Metcalf is hard to tackle after, but like as far as making things happen...DK Metcalf, who's always been kind of an air yards guy and isn't going to do a lot of damage after the catch.

STACKED’s take

NeutralRole

Metcalf is an air yards guy without Bernard's after-catch explosiveness.

DK Metcalf is characterized as an air yards guy who isn't going to do a lot of damage after the catch in Pittsburgh's offense; while he's hard to tackle after the catch, he doesn't create explosive plays like Cedrick Bernard does, positioning Bernard as the more valuable option in the short-passing game.
