u200bu200bHouston Texans rookie wide receiver John Metchie III, who was diagnosed with a form of leukemia in July, surprised the nurses and patients who have supported his recovery with an evening at NRG Stadium on Monday.
The 2022 second-round pick from Alabama gave the group a tour of the stadium and gifts and concluded the night by serving them dinner in the team café. The gesture was to show appreciation for the support they've provided Metchie throughout his cancer treatment.
"It's a blessing to be a blessing. I think keeping that in the back of your mind is always a great thing and a great way to keep your spirits up and keep going," Metchie III said on the Texans' team website.
