One of the biggest stories of the New York Jets‘ offseason has been the absence of offensive tackle Mekhi Becton. After flashing dominance as a rookie in 2020, the mammoth left tackle sustained a knee injury during Week 1 that kept him out for the entire 2021 season. The result is uncertainty about the future of the former 11th overall pick.
Noise about Becton’s weight and motivation level led some teams to believe that Becton would never play another snap for the Jets. Meanwhile, the Jets insist that he will be a cog in their line for years to come.
