New York Jets select Louisville OT Mekhi Becton with No. 11 pick

Error 0:

The New York Jets go with Mekhi Becton with hopes that he’ll be protecting Sam Darnold’s blindside for the next decade.

The newest New York Jet, Mekhi Becton, is a physical and athletic freak. He stands at 6-foot-7 and weighs in at 364 pounds. A guy that size isn’t supposed to be as athletic as Becton, but he’s not normal. He ran an astonishing 5.10 40-yard dash and has phenomenal short-area quickness.

His college tape is littered with reps where Becton bullied people. He threw full-grown men off the field multiple times.
