The Dallas Cowboys could very well be in the market for wide receiver thanks to this offseason’s free-agency period. The trade of Amari Cooper and departure of Cedrick Wilson left holes in the depth chart. Alabama wide receiver, John Methcie could potentially fill that divot. In a deep receiver room in his freshman year (2019), Metchie still found the field, playing in all 13 games. He expanded on that role in 2020 almost reaching 1,000 yards. His peak form was in his junior year where he tallied 1,100 yards and added eight touchdowns.
Metchie had no problem cracking the rotation in a crowded and deep receiver room in Alabama, and he saw his role increase each year. In 2021 he began the year as WR1 for the Crimson Tide prior to the emergence of Jameson Williams, and his numbers increased yet again. Unfortunately Metchie was injured in the SEC title game win over Georgia, tearing his ACL and ending his season. He wasn’t able to work out for NFL teams but attended the combine to interview. According to the prospect himself, he plans to be available for June minicamps.
