John Metchie III to the Texans Tells Us a Lot About Houston's Future

The Houston Texans are apparently committed to Davis Mills. Despite just one quarterback being drafted by pick 44 in the 2022 NFL Draft, they opted for a wide receiver instead: John Metchie III.

Statistically, Metchie leaves something to be desired as a prospect as his college dominator rating (29th percentile), yards per catch (14th) and breakout age (33rd) are all lacking, according to the numbers at PlayerProfiler.

He did, however, post a solid 26.9% final-season target share, which rates as a 79th-percentile clip. He recorded at least 916 receiving yards in each of his final two seasons at Alabama and had to scrap with DeVonta Smith and Jaylen Waddle for targets in one of those campaigns.
