Twitter reacts to the Texans drafting former Alabama WR John Metchie
If the Houston Texans are going to saddled up quarterback Davis Mills, they may as well supply him with weapons.
The Texans moved up to No. 44 overall in Round 2 of the 2022 NFL draft to select former Alabama receiver John Metchie. There are some question marks regarding Metchie as he recovers from an ACL tear sustained in the penultimate game of the 2021 season as the Crimson Tide battled Georgia in the SEC Championship Game in December.
Dr. Lyle Cain, the Alabama team doctor, is confident Metchie will return to normal, but it still remains to be seen.
Here are the best takes from Twitter surrounding the selection.
With the 44th pick in the 2022 NFL draft the Houston Texans select John Metchie III WR from Alabama! Congrats

John Metchie should form a partnership with Brandin Cooks similar to the one he had with Jameson Williams at Alabama https://t.co/L7YjK6zfd7

John Metchie III was the closest and most similar player to Davante Adam's. His route running, speed, ability in the red zone make him the most NFL ready wide receiver not picked in round 1.

I said on my show this am that wr John Metchie would be a steal. When healthy, with his skill set, the Texans get a big time player.

John Metchie is such a good fit and pick for the Texans. I can’t believe he was so overlooked this cycle. I think he can be an absolute star

John Metchie said he is already running after tearing his ACL last season. He added that he's known and had a great relationship with Pep Hamilton @CoachPepHam since high school
