Mountainous Mekhi Becton the ‘Alpha’ the Giants need on the offensive line?

Offensive line performance consultant Duke Manyweather has outsized expectations for Louisville offensive tackle Mekhi Becton, the largest offensive tackle here at the 2020 NFL Scouting Combine.

“Remember when LeBron [James] came to the NBA people said he was too big?” Manyweather said. “Some players just transcend and set a new bar.

“He’s a new bar.”

Becton is a monstrous human being. He measured 6-foot-7 3/8, 364 pounds on Tuesday. He has 10 3/4-inch hands, the second-longest arms among offensive lineman at 35 5/8 inches (Matt Peart of UConn has ridiculous 36 5/8-inch arms) and an 83 1/4-inch wing span.
