## Resource

John Metchie III is stepping into a bigger role for the Panthers, taking over as the primary punt and kickoff returner with key teammates sidelined. Already showing flashes in preseason with over 27 yards per return, he’s training hard since joining the team this spring and ready to make his mark Sunday against the Falcons. Beyond returns, Metchie remains a reliable receiver — his college connection with QB Bryce Young gives him an edge. Coach Dave Canales values his stability at receiver and sees his return skills as a bonus. With Jalen Coker still recovering from an ankle injury, Metchie’s versatility makes him indispensable. For Metchie, it’s all about playing football — wherever he’s needed, he’ll be a playmaker. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
