Houston Texans wide receiver John Metchie is torching the secondary at training camp

This offseason for the Houston Texans has been unreal. The 2024 season is shaping up to be a crazy one that could see the Texans have their best season ever.

The Houston Texans just traded for Stefon Diggs this offseason , making them a real Super Bowl contender . But, that also saw there be a log jam in the wide receiver room. The Texans needed another guy in the room, but before the trade, no one expected the team to make an addition of a guy that's considered one of the best in the league like Diggs is.

Everyone thought the Texans would add another veteran, an established guy, or even a rookie in the draft, especially since they had Nico Collins, Tank Dell, Noah Brown, and John Metchie. That's a loaded room with a lot of upside. Then you add Diggs and it changes everything.

But John Metchie is a guy that a lot of people seem to be forgetting about. He should be the fourth receiver in this offense, and because of that, could be overlooked. But, don't be fooled - the guy is getting back to the elite level we knew he could be when he was at Alabama.

Now training camp is here, and after a few days, it's apparent Metchie is playing out of his mind. In fact, he is out there at camp burning the secondary on deep balls, as he connects with backup quarterback Davis Mills.

His speed and route running are looking great, and he's looking like a player who could catch a lot of people off guard this season as that fourth option. But, only time will tell - training camp just started, and everything is still so fresh.
