Mekhi Becton Slowly Progressing
2 years agoNew York Jets offensive tackle Mekhi Becton isn't handling the heat well in training camp practices, but the Jets should be happy with their right tackle's progression, especially considering where he was in the spring and at the start of training camp. If Becton can stay healthy and George Fant eventually returns to full strength, the Jets offensive line should be in good shape. "He's getting better every day, he's getting more confident every day and I'm really pleased with his progression," head coach Robert Saleh said. The 23-year-old former first-rounder had a solid rookie year in 2020 and started 14 games, but he played in just one contest in 2021 before tearing his MCL.
