Former New York Jets tackle Damien Woody explained why Mekhi Becton must lose weight this offseason in order to avoid more injuries.

“Nobody will dispute the immense talent he has,” Woody said. “We saw flashes of that his rookie year. A lot of his plays made highlights. But, like we’ve said constantly time and time again, your best ability is your availability."

I knew this was going to dominate the off season. One mook started this overweight garbage and the mob mentality took hold .
This kid was in great shape and he got hurt in a pileup freakishly. He’s having trouble apparently trusting his leg probably because he’s never had to comeback from an injury like this.
What happened in 2020 and again in 2021 are not the same and should not be lumped together.

too many outside voices talking about things that are behind the doors at Florham Park...
former players with social media voices, run their mouth thought it was funny that he is running his mouth...
I sent him a reply on twitter direct message and now he sees things a tad differently...
he still says his weight is a slight issue but looked back to his injuries and realizes those are circumstance not hinderance because of his weight...

It’s not so much about their Weight but more about the positions they play and the players they have to face .
The Hawkeye center is an exception athlete, but his body type is more like a big TE than an OC and he will be going up against grown men in the middle well above his weight and body type. He maybe the same weight as Kelcie, but he doesn’t have the same body type.
Becton on the other hand is just a mountain of a man and he’s actually muscular.

could it be that Woody is comingling two phrases...losing weight and being in top shape?

"But, like we’ve said constantly time and time again, your best ability is your availability."

If Mount Becton thrives at 370 and his skeletal muscular system are in tip top condition, then he increases the likelihood of his availability.

If Mount Becton loses 30 pounds but his skeletal muscular system are not in tip top shape, he has decreased his weight, but he probably set himself up to get injured limiting his availability.
