Mekhi Becton thanks Carl Lawson: ‘You made me a whole lot better’

Chosen 11th overall in 2020’s virtual draft, Mekhi Becton was a rare silver lining for the New York Jets‘ offense last season.

For his sophomore year, Gang Green’s management made finding him some help a top priority.

They bolstered the offense by adding Corey Davis, Tevin Coleman, and Keelan Cole through free agency. In the draft, they picked up Zach Wilson, Alijah Vera-Tucker, Elijah Moore, and Michael Carter.

But their biggest offensive acquisition could well become … defensive end Carl Lawson?
