Offensive tackle Mekhi Becton became the newest member of the New York Jets after going No. 11 overall in the 2020 NFL draft on Thursday.
In a conversation with reporters after the event, Becton was asked about an NFL Scouting Combine drug test that was flagged, a story that Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported April 17.
He offered the following response on a video conference, per ESPN's Rich Cimini: "It was just a messed-up drug test, you know. I made a mistake, a young mistake that won't happen again. It was a one-time mistake that's never going to happen again."
