2022 Draft Coverage: John Metchie III

Dynasty / By /

John Metchie III is an early-declare WR that just dominated the SEC and is coming off of injury.

This past season, Metchie was relied upon to be Bryce Young’s go-to receiver, a role he was effective in until teammate Jameson Williams began to blossom and he shared the load. Like Williams, Metchie also went down with an unfortunate ACL injury at the end of the season, just two games before Jameson did.
