Jets LT Mekhi Becton believes Carl Lawson has made him ‘a whole lot better’

One of the more underrated and talented defensive ends the NFL has to offer is now in Florham Park.

After signing a three-year, $45 million contract in March, Carl Lawson is expected to add tremendous firepower to the Jets pass rush and defensive line as a whole.

But terrorizing the opponent isn’t the only type of contribution Lawson will be making for the Jets. The veteran will also aid in the improvement of his teammates and is already helping offensive tackle Mekhi Becton, his in-practice competition, capitalize on his potential.

Lawson’s efforts ended up assisting Becton in the Jets’ preseason-opener against the Giants this past weekend.
