The Texans traded for Stefon Diggs on April 3, adding yet another talented receiver to their already impressive arsenal. Along with Diggs, the team has a group of receivers that includes Nico Collins, Tank Dell, Robert Woods, and Noah Brown. In addition to this strong group of receivers, the Texans have John Metchie, a second-round pick in 2022 who faced challenges in his first two seasons due to health issues.
Metchie missed his rookie season due to cancer treatments and had to work his way back from a torn ACL. He then dealt with a hamstring injury last season, but now, for the first time in three seasons, he is fully healthy. Despite facing these setbacks, Stroud emphasizes that Metchie should not be underestimated. Having witnessed Metchie’s determination and work ethic firsthand, Stroud has full confidence in his abilities. He believes that Metchie is not only a talented football player but also a great person.
Seeing Metchie’s progress and commitment to getting back to peak performance on the field has been inspiring for the team. Stroud is excited to see Metchie showcase his skills and contribute to the team’s success this season. He is confident that Metchie will prove his potential and make a significant impact on the field. With a strong group of receivers like Metchie, the Texans are poised for a successful season ahead.
In summary, CJ Stroud is thrilled about the addition of Stefon Diggs and John Metchie to the Texans’ roster. With their impressive arsenal of receivers including Nico Collins, Tank Dell, Robert Woods and Noah Brown coupled with their strong work ethic and determination as evidenced by John Metchie’s journey back from injuries makes them ready for success this season ahead.
