In an era when the wide receiver position has become synonymous with the temperamental athletes who play it, Whitehouse High's Trey Metoyer has taken a different approach -- unselfishness."Every team wants to double [team] me, but what they don't realize is you got somebody else and that just opens it up more for them," he says. "If they can go to work, then I can get the ball and just do what I do."That attitude has worked well, as Metoyer has received plenty of touches in 2010. He burned defenses for 1,540 yards and 23 touchdowns, and was equally impressive in the postseason. He totaled 236 yards and two scores though his Wildcats fell to Mesquite Poteet in the second round of the Texas 4A playoffs.He attributes his success to his crisp route-running. His clean breaks create separation and his speed allows him to blow past safeties and cornerbacks. His 38-inch vertical leap also gives him an advantage in nearly every jump ball situation."I can find a way to get open," he says. "That's all that counts."His frame is nothing to scoff at either. At 6-foot-2 and 198 pounds, he has the body of an NFL receiver, with scouts comparing him to a young Dez Bryant. That praise has only fueled him to perform better."Everybody has me hyped up to be a top ranked receiver, so why not play like one?" he asks.Read more: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/specials/highschool-potw/11/23/hspow.7/index.html#ixzz17jSPZSEc
