In 1986, with the arrival of Jim Kelly, Metzelaars became an important weapon in the Bills offensive scheme. At 6'9" tall, he was an easy target for Kelly to go to in times of trouble. Pete caught 49 passes from Kelly in 1986. Most of them over the middle when Kelly's wideouts weren't open. Fans were greatfull that the Bills had Metzelaars as a safety valve but weren't to exited about his lack of breakaway speed and big play ability. The fourth all-time leading receiver [302 catches] in the team’s history, Metzelaars, who was a free agent following the ‘94 campaign, was not re-signed and ended his career with one season in Carolina and two seasons with the Detroit Lions.
