STACKED’s take

NeutralProjection

Metcalf's 850 yards fell short of 1,000-yard expectations; he prioritizes Super Bowl over stats.

Metcalf caught 59 passes for 850 yards and six touchdowns in 2025, plus one rushing touchdown for seven total; fell short of the 1,000-yard mark that fans expected given his four-year, $132 million extension signed after his March 2025 trade from Seattle. However, Metcalf himself is not concerned with individual stat milestones, telling The Athletic: "I've done it. So me doing it again is proving what to anybody? I want to win the Super Bowl and I'll let the rest speak for itself." The source notes that while Metcalf may downplay big numbers, the Steelers' path to a Super Bowl in 2026 depends on him having a big year.
