DK Metcalf loves candy so much that he's made it a main staple of his diet.

On a recent episode of the "KG Certified" podcast with NBA Hall of Famer Kevin Garnett, the Seattle Seahawks wide receiver was asked how important nutrition is to him. Metcalf responded that he was "probably the worst person to ask that" before admitting to eating multiple bags of candy every day, much to the shock of Garnett.

"I'm a candy-type person," Metcalf said. "I eat one meal a day, drink one coffee, and eat like three-to-four bags of candy."

Metcalf also spoke about his Olympic track aspirations and told Garnett he thinks he has what it takes to play in the NBA.

"I say I could play in the league and get 10 points," he said. "Just from hustling. I'mma run all day. I can run the court."

The 24-year-old finished last season with 75 catches for 967 yards and a career-high 12 touchdowns in 17 games.
