John Metchie projects as a WR3/WR4 rotational piece in Philadelphia. He is best deployed as a slot/Z receiver who can get open vs zone coverage, provide a quarterback with a reliable target, and offer a safety valve on scramble drills.

That’s not the only relationship Metchie has in the Eagles’ locker room. He also knows Jahan Dotson pretty well. While they weren’t ever actually teammates in high school, Dotson hosted Metchie on his visit to The Peddie School in Hightstown, New Jersey.

Metchie caught five of eight targets for 45 yards while adding 23 yards on one kickoff return in Houston's 20-10 preseason loss to the Vikings in Week 1. Philadelphia officially announced the move on Monday, reuniting Metchie with DeVonta Smith and other former Alabama teammates.
