It may be the fact John Metchie is coming off an ACL injury sustained in December, or it could be that he went to the moribund Houston Texans. Either way, the former Alabama wideout is already being overlooked.
Gregg Rosenthal from NFL.com released his admittedly “incredibly early” predictions for the 2022 rookie receiver yardage rankings, and Metchie was noticeably absent from the list.
Somehow Detroit Lions receiver Jameson Williams, who is also coming off an ACL injury the same as Metchie, was able to make the top-9 list.
