John Metchie is excited to hear his name called early in April, but he hails from a program that garners the title “Wide Receiver University.”
Metchie did not enter Alabama football under much hype in 2019, but he worked hard and recorded his first 1,000-yard season in 2021. He led the Crimson Tide in receptions (96) and totaled 1,142 yards with eight touchdowns. Other names such as Amari Cooper and DeVonta Smith did not arrive with a ton of fanfare, but both became the greatest at the position.
Reporters at the NFL Scouting Combine want to know who is next in line as the next great receiver out of Tuscaloosa.
