#8 John metchie III highlights

Strengths

• He is a versatile wide receiver dynamic as a slot and has ridiculous speed, a tumultuous playmaker who can get vertical in a blink.
• His versatility allows him to run jet sweeps, screens, and slants, and he is explosive in the short passing game.
• He generates many yards after the catch, is physically demanding, and can juke a defender one-on-one to pick up yards.
• His speed creates so much separation that he will not allow him to get caught from behind.
• He can stop on a dime, run in and out in cuts with a smooth transition and apply tremendous pressure on the defense.
• He does not shy while trying to be a blocker, a slight improvement for the NFL but solid enough to get the job done sufficiently enough.
• He tracks the ball well and possesses excellent hands.

Weaknesses

• He had a season-ending ACL tear before the BCS Championship, and stock may fall in the mid-rounds.
• He struggled against the press coverage the few times he played; however, at the next level will face it frequently.
• He uses his body too much to catch the ball and needs to make more hand catches.
