John Metchie III has been through a lot, both on and off the field. His latest obstacle—recovering from a torn ACL—is just another bump in the road. jfmckessy on Metchie III's NFLDraft journey and great attitude. FrontOffice33
It’s been a long journey to the NFL Scouting Combine for Alabama wide receiver, but all it’s taken to get here has made his latest obstacle—an ACL tear—just another bump in the road.
If Metchie is frustrated or upset about being unable to show off his skills to scouts at the Combine, he hasn’t been showing it. His attitude during his media availability on Wednesday in Indianapolis was overwhelmingly positive, and he seemed genuinely excited just to be here. Considering all it took for Metchie to get this far, seeing him so positive actually isn’t a huge surprise. For one thing, he’s dealt with adversity from injuries before. When he was a freshman in high school, a hard hit to his chest led to a realization that he had an enlarged heart, and his recovery from that kept him on the bench the rest of that year.
For another thing, the journey for Metchie just to get to where he is today was full of twists and turns. The Alabama star was born in Taiwan, lived in Ghana for a few years, then moved to Canada when he was six years old. When Metchie realized that his dream was to play football, he decided that moving to the United States for high school was the best way to advance his career. So when he was 14, he enrolled in a Maryland boarding school and moved away from his family to begin high school.
