  Draft Scout by Conference









  Almost three months after tearing his ACL in the SEC championship game, former Alabama wide receiver John Metchie said Wednesday is recovery is on schedule. "Around June, in June, I should be cleared, I should be good to go," he said at the NFL combine in Indianapolis. "Just ready to play football and run some routes." Metchie was included as a late first-round pick in some mock drafts before his injury but now is more frequently projected as a second-round pick in April's draft.

But in interviewing with NFL teams this week, Metchie has not sensed his draft stock slipping. "I don't really get that sense from them," he said. "I don't really get much concern for my injury. Everything checks off. Everything is going well. Rehab's going well, them looking at my knee is going well. "My recovery is going really well. All the doctors say it's going really well, so I shouldn't have any issues there at all." Metchie will not participate in drills this week at the combine or at Alabama's pro day later this month. That means his 40-yard dash time will remain a projection to teams that evaluate him. "They definitely ask about it," he said. "They think I would have ran a 4.4 [seconds], or low 4.4s, but it's definitely something we need to move on from here." - Birmingham News
