Some random thoughts as Jets training camp rolls along …
Mekhi Becton’s new role. Head coach Robert Saleh noted at the Senior Bowl back in February the left tackle job was George Fant’s to lose. He meant it.
Saleh revealed last week the Jets will be moving forward with Fant on the blindside. The Jets drafted Becton in the 2020 first round to fill that crucial role for years to come. But after missing 16 games last year due to a knee injury and Fant’s subsequent superb play in the left tackle role, Becton has been Wally Pipped.
