The appearance at the Patriots facility comes after he recently discussed his fitness journey during an interview with XXL. “Less eating. Especially when I went to jail. I lost a lot of weight. Just like, cleansing. Detoxing. And when I got home, I started working out and just keeping it fit. And now, I’m on a year straight of all working out,” he said. As for if he’s still staying in shape, he added: “Yes. I got a trainer. I work out six days a week. I eat better. I eat clean. And that’s something I’m disciplining myself to do every day. It’s something that I’m liking, though. I feel better when I work out.”

John Metchie III Returns To Field After Battle With Leukemia

by

John Metchie III was all smiles this past Tuesday and for good reason. The Houston Texans receiver was finally able to return to the field after a battle with leukemia. The diagnosis sidelined Metchie for his entire rookie season with the Texans. Now Metchie is just thankful to be on the field with his teammates. Metchie was diagnosed with Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia mere months after being selected in the 2022 NFL Draft.

News like that is heartbreaking for anyone to hear. Especially a young man on the verge of living out his dreams. However, Metchie won his battle with leukemia and is getting another chance to make his professional dreams come true. Metchie was a star at Alabama before becoming a member of the Texans. Recently, Alabama has been a star receiver factory. As the program has sent one star after another to the NFL. Including Heisman winner Devonta Smith who was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles.

John Metchie III Cleared For Return

Metchie’s numbers at Alabama are a big reason the star receiver went in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft. In his final year with the Crimson Tide, Metchie recorded 8 touchdown receptions while racking up over 1,100 yards receiving. The Texans will be glad to see Metchie return to the field. Houston is in the middle of rebuilding their franchise. Many believe the team will add a quarterback during this year’s NFL Draft. However, the Texans have yet to reveal their draft plans. Although the team has plenty of holes that will need to be filled before the start of the 2023 season.

New Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans is excited about the return of Metchie. However, Ryans doesn’t want to rush Metchie out on the field too soon. Unfortunately, missing an entire year of action in the NFL can slow down anyone. Let alone someone going through a battle like Metchie had to endure. However, just being a part of the day-to-day action has to have John Metchie smiling all day long. A great moment for Metchie and all those who may be dealing with a tough battle.
