New York Jets first-round pick Mekhi Becton is a very, very large man. We all knew this during the 2020 NFL draft season when he weighed-in at 6-7, 368 pounds.
Sometimes, it takes a picture to really get a feel for just how big that is. And we got one of those photos from Jets camp when a photographer caught Becton standing next to wide receiver Jamison Crowder, who’s on the smaller side of the pass-catcher scale (5-9, 174 pounds).

There simply are no words.
Becton is expected to begin his career on the right side of the Jets’ offensive line but should eventually be kicked to the left side once he gets his NFL legs under him. He was selected with the 11th overall pick after starting the last three seasons at tackle for the Louisville Cardinals.
