Two of his bigger swings recently involved adding Jakorian Bennett after most of the East Coast went to bed and executing a trade that no one saw coming. Who would have thought? John Metchie was a 2022 second-round NFL Draft choice whom Philadelphia added by swapping players and draft compensation with the AFC South's Houston Texans.

That’s not the only relationship Metchie has in the Eagles’ locker room. He also knows Jahan Dotson pretty well. While they weren’t ever actually teammates in high school, Dotson hosted Metchie on his visit to The Peddie School in Hightstown, New Jersey.
