Jets Expect Mekhi Becton To Be A Starter
3 years agoThe New York Jets expect offensive tackle Mekhi Becton (knee) to be one of their starting tackles in 2022. "Yes, we are operating like Mekhi is going to be one of our two tackles. That's our expectation that he's going to come back ready to roll. I know he's fired up to get back on the field and compete," general manager Joe Douglas said. Becton missed 15 games last year with a knee injury, and head coach Robert Saleh said earlier this offseason that he wouldn't be guaranteed a starting job in 2022. The 22-year-old left tackle has been a huge disappointment for New York since they drafted him in the first round, and there's a possibility that he's eventually moved to right tackle.
