When the Houston Texans selected John Metchie III this past April in the second round of the Draft, he was seen as a potential fit next to Brandin Cooks and Nico Collins.
If Cooks is the speed demon who’s a consistent threat for a big-play and Collins is the big-bodied receiver who plays with physicality, power, makes contested catches and acts like the possession receiver, Metchie is the advanced technician who takes advantage of his route running skills and mismatches from the slot to gain chunks of yards in the middle of the field.
Metchie tore his ACL this past December, but he was present at rookie minicamp and he expects to be a full-go for training camp targeting his return on the field for the Texans season opener against the Colts.
