Former Louisville offensive tackle, Mekhi Becton, was drafted in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft. The New York Jets selected the 6-foot-7, 363-pound tackle with the 11th overall pick. Unfortunately, Mekhi Becton has had his fair share of battles with knee injuries.
During the 2021 season, he suffered a knee injury and was carted off the field. Becton would be out for 4-6 weeks and would be placed on injured reserve soon after his diagnosis. The following season, he suffered an avulsion fracture of his right kneecap, which forced him to miss the entire season.
