John Metchie embracing a new opportunity as Panthers returner

“Yeah, it’s definitely special playing with your quarterback, especially your college quarterback that you played with a lot, having a lot of experience and banked reps together, especially in football,” admitted Metchie. “But honestly, the group of guys, the whole offense, just the relationship with the whole offense is a good one, and I think I know everyone gets along well.

Added Canales, “John gives us a guy that we trust, that Bryce knows and has, and he also has returned for us. He’s done a good job in the preseason. We wanted to give him those opportunities to see if he could help us in that way, and I feel confident he’ll do a good job.”
