FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- A look at what's happening around the New York Jets:
1. Emotional intro: The meeting happened in Las Vegas, where the Jets played three weeks ago. Mekhi Becton's mother introduced herself to Aaron Rodgers, and soon there was a warm embrace and tears of joy for Semone Becton.
There have been a lot of stories since the spring about how the star quarterback has impacted individual players on the Jets. Becton, the 6-foot-7, 360-pound tackle, might be at the top of the list. After battling two devastating knee injuries, a weight issue and intense criticism from fans and media over his first three seasons, the 2020 first-round pick felt alienated at times.
