John Metchie III 2022 Outlook
The Texans traded up in the second round of the draft in order to take Metchie with the 44th overall pick despite the fact that it is not clear exactly when Metchie will be able to help them on the field. As Profootballtalk.com reminded readers, Metchie tore his ACL while playing for Alabama in the SEC Championship Game last year, so he will continue to be in rehab mode for a while. Once he is well enough to play, he's ticketed for the slot receiver role, and head coach Lovie Smith said that the team took him because he offers the offense ability that they don't otherwise have on hand. "[Metchie] is a small guy, likely only to play the slot, but to play with an injury the way he did and how he's attacked coming back," Smith said. "He's going to give us something eventually that we don't have in our program now." Metchie caught 96 passes for 1,142 yards and eight touchdowns before getting hurt last season, and the Texans clearly believe that his injury won't stop him from producing at a similar level as a pro. Indeed, once he's healthy, Metchie will almost certainly get that slot role working between Brandin Cooks and Nico Collins.
