John Metchie III had a disappointing 2023 season. He only caught 16 passes for 158 yards total and no touchdowns. More than a few people have pointed out that Metchie could be battling for a roster spot in a very talented wide receiver room. If that is the case, he certainly helped his chances on Saturday grabbing six catches for 68 yards including a 3 yard touchdown reception from Case Keenum.
After the game, DeMeco Ryan and C.J. Stroud praised Metchie’s performance.
On the plan for WR John Metchie III and his performance today
DeMeco: For Metchie, I think he did a really nice job today, just catching the football, making some big-time plays for us. It's exciting to see Metchie make those plays. I think nobody is more fired up than all of his teammates. You see the other receivers and to see their genuine excitement for him when he makes those plays and just the entire team as a whole is pulling for him to do well and he did a really nice job today. That's why I think you play the preseason games. That's why you have training camp practices is to see guys continue to grow, get better and shine when the opportunity comes and Metchie had a really nice day today.
On WR John Metchie Ill performance tonight
C.J.: (John) Metchie has been working really hard. He's a great friend of mine, somebody who I have a lot of love for. It's just exciting to see him able to put all his talents and things on display. I'm really excited for him. I think he's going to be a great addition to our team and to be able to have him fully healthy and feeling back in football shape. I'm very excited for him. It's only just beginning for him.
The Texans host the Rams for their final preseason game on Saturday at 1 pm CT.
