John Metchie is rehabbing his knee in preparing for the NFL Draft, but he’s still showing the “Crimson Crane” love.

He is doing his rehab in Florida and decided to surprise 800 students at Oriole Beach Elementary School. Metchie read books to children, took photos with students and teachers, and did the crane kick celebration. Before hearing his name in April, the native Canadian wanted to bring smiles to the youth in Florida. He won two SEC Championships (2020, 2021) and one national title.
