The Halas Award is given to an NFL player, coach or staff member who overcomes the most adversity to succeed.
Former Alabama standout and current Houston Texans wide receiver John Metchie III was named the recipient of the PFWA's George Halas Award on Tuesday.
After being selected with the No. 44 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, Metchie hoped to make an immediate impact on the Texans, despite tearing his ACL in the SEC Championship game a few months before. Nevertheless, Metchie relentlessly worked his way back to the gridiron and was able to play snaps in 16 games this past season.
"Although it's fun and it's what I dreamt of as a kid, there's a lot of bigger things in life and there are a lot of people facing real battles every day and have really bad days,"Metchie explained that his darkest times during the cancer journey were when he made that realization.
