The Jets’ faith in Mekhi Becton has not wavered.
General manager Joe Douglas expressed support for the embattled left tackle yet again Tuesday during an appearance on WFAN. Douglas expressed optimism Becton will be ready for training camp and told midday hosts Tiki Barber and Brandon Tierney that Becton is in “a good place right now” after a tumultuous 2021 season.
“He has a lot of pride,” Douglas said. “He’s a competitor. He’s a competitive guy. I think he’s at the point now where he wants to prove some of these naysayers wrong, and I think he’s going to do everything in his power to get to that point come the start of training camp.
