D.K. METCALF has celebrated his bumper NFL payday by getting engaged.
The star wide receiver, 27, penned a five-year, $130million contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Metcalf has been dating R&B singer Normani, 28, since 2022.
And just days after signing the mega-deal asked for her hand in marriage.
“Hold that rock up, baby,” Metcalf smiled during his unveiling at this week’s Steelers press conference.
Metcalf revealed he had popped the question infront of both their families during a trip home to Houston, Texas.
“I tried to last year,” Metcalf added.
“But she is a singer and her work kind of conflicted with the schedule.
“I just tried to take an approach to where a schedule didn’t matter.
“I started sending flowers with a story and the last letter on the flower was ‘Will you marry me?’.
“And she said yes.”
Metcalf already had reason to celebrate after landing on the Pittsburgh roster Sunday following a blockbuster trade.
The wideout has been with the Seattle Seahawks for the entire of his six-season NFL career.
But the Seahawks cashed in on the 27-year-old, getting a second round pick in this year’s draft in return.
“Coach Tomlin, Mr Omar [Kahn], and Mr [Art] Rooney all hopped on the phone with me Sunday,” Metcalf explained.
“It just felt homey and welcoming that they wanted to bring me to this historical organization.
“Everything snowballed from there and brought me in front of you today.”
Metcalf has signed a $150 million extension with the franchise.
Since entering the league in 2019, the talented receiver has racked up three 1,000-yard seasons.
He led the Seahawks in receiving last year with 992 yards.
Over the course of his career, he’s brought in 48 touchdowns and is a two-time Pro Bowler.
