Seahawks' Metcalf partners with company on 'Decaf Metcalf' coffee
A Georgia-based coffee company is capitalizing on ESPN's Joe Tessitore accidentally referring to Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf as "Decaf Metcalf."
Volcanica Coffee is partnering with Metcalf to sell 16-ounce bags of "Decaf Metcalf" coffee through its website, with part of the proceeds going to charities Metcalf and Tessitore have selected, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Metcalf's charity of choice is Prison Fellowship, a leading advocate for justice reform that helps prisoners, former prisoners, and their families. Tessitore is donating to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
Tessitore made the "Decaf Metcalf" flub during the Seahawks' 37-30 win over the Minnesota Vikings on Monday Night Football.

A company official said Volcanica has already designed the packaging for its new coffee and expects to sell thousands of units.
