In a shocking development, the New England Patriots are taking a long, hard look at a product of Nick Saban’s football factory.
According to Jordan Schultz, the Patriots are bringing in former Alabama wide receiver John Metchie III for a top-30 visit. News of his visit comes after reports that the Patriots would be meeting with three Arizona State defenders this week in Arizona.
Metchie is a 6-foot-0, 187 pound wide receiver prospect who projects to be used as a slot/Z-receiver hybrid at the next level. He spent three seasons at Alabama, where he played in 30 total games.
