Outside of wide receiver Brandin Cooks, the Houston Texans offense in 2021 lacked weapons, explosiveness and consistency. This offseason, Texans General Manager Nick Caserio and new Head Coach Lovie Smith made it a priority to bring in more talent for quarterback Davis Mills.
The Texans drafted Alabama wide receiver John Metchie with the 44th overall pick in the second-round of the 2022 NFL Draft. Metchie is coming off a torn-ACL but expects to be cleared for training camp in July. Although it is a possibility that Metchie may not be ready for week one of the 2022 season, Lovie Smith believes Metchie will play sometime in 2022.
