John Metchie, a second-round pick in 2022, is ready to make an impact on the field after overcoming health challenges. Despite missing his rookie season due to a leukemia diagnosis and dealing with a torn ACL in the previous season, Metchie is now fully healthy and eager to showcase his skills. He played 310 offensive snaps in 16 games and caught 16 passes for 158 yards last season, and Stroud believes that he has the potential to shine on the field.
C.J. Stroud was caught off guard when he learned about the trade that brought Stefon Diggs to the Texans on April 3. Waking up to the news, he realized that he now had another talented receiver to add to an already stacked group of offensive weapons. Along with Diggs, the Texans also have Nico Collins, Tank Dell, Robert Woods, and Noah Brown in their receivers room. In addition, they have John Metchie, who should not be overlooked despite facing health challenges in the past.
Stroud praised Metchie’s mindset and work ethic, noting that he is not only a great football player but also a great person. He expressed confidence in Metchie’s abilities and believes that he has the potential to shine on the field. Stroud emphasized the camaraderie and talent present in the Texans’ receiving room, stating that he wouldn’t want anyone else but these players by his side. Overall, he is confident that Metchie will continue to impress and showcase his skills on the field.
