Mekhi Becton has been a standout on the New York Jets’ offensive line since being drafted 11th overall in the 2020 NFL Draft. Despite injuries sidelining him for much of the last two seasons, Becton has used his rehab time to get into midseason shape, sharing photos of his body transformation on Thursday.
The 6-foot-7 tackle has always been a topic of conversation due to his size and weight, and he has shown to be injury-prone during his first three seasons in the NFL. After playing 14 games his rookie season, Becton re-injured his surgically repaired right knee during training camp, sidelining him for the rest of the 2022 season.
However, Becton has been diligent in his recovery and training and has added muscle while maintaining a lean physique. With the current strength and conditioning program in the NFL, teams are constantly looking to build the strongest and most resilient offensive lines.
Becton has the potential to be an anchor for the Jets’ line for years to come and his body transformation is a testament to his hard work and dedication. As he prepares to return healthy for the 2023 season, Becton looks to be in the best shape of his career and ready to make an impact on the Jets’ line.
