Texans

Texans HC Lovie Smith says that second-round WR John Metchie brings something to the team that they previously didn’t have.

“You know, we say we’re a tough football team,” Smith said, via Cole Thompson of SI.com. “There are some positions that will tell if you’re really tough or not . . . [Metchie] is a small guy, likely only to play the slot, but to play with an injury the way he did and how he’s attacked coming back . . . He’s going to give us something eventually that we don’t have in our program now.”
