The Patriots are set to meet with one of Nick Saban’s Alabama wide receivers this week.
New England is using one of its Top 30 visits on John Metchie III this Tuesday, according to Jordan Schultz. A projected Day 2 pick, Metchie is coming off a torn ACL, so it makes a lot of sense that the Patriots would want to check up on his recovery process.
Metchie seems like he’d be a strong fit in Foxborough for a number of reasons.
He’s projected to go right in the range where the Patriots should be in the market for a wide receiver — second or third round — Saban raves about him, and the Crimson Tide product already has a rapport with Mac Jones.
