The Houston Texans have some good news from wide receiver John Metchie III.
Texans general manager Nick Caserio said Wednesday on Houston's SportsRadio 610 that the former second-round draft pick has made"amazing" progress in his battle against acute promyelocytic leukemia,via the Texans' site"I'd say there's a chance that he'll be ready for the start of the offseason program," Caserio said."I think there are still some things that he has to complete or go through.
The Texans drafted Metchie with the 44th overall pick of the 2022 NFL draft after a standout career at Alabama, which unfortunately ended with a torn ACL in the 2021 SEC championship game. Metchie already faced an uphill battle to see significant playing time as a rookie, but his production, agility and route-running still made him a serious prospect."He actually looks better now than he did when we drafted him in the spring," Caserio said.
Adding Metchie figures to be a significant boost for the Texans, who struggled throughout 2022 and finished with a 3-13-1 record. The team's wide receiver corps was widely seen as a weakness, as no pass-catcher posted more than 700 yards.
