Jets minicamp today: Mekhi Becton & Sauce Gardner

[skop]

the reports of him ballooning up in weight durning his rehab seems more believable to me after seeing hin at his presser.. he did not pass the eye test.. not mine anyway..

& staying heavy durning this still continuing rehab could/can't be helpful for him to gain back strength in his knee..

hard to say from what we know from the outside looking in becton is taking his craft as seriously as his teammates..

hard to disagree with you... as of now, he doesn't look the part.

Coach said Becton looked like a butcher block of knives and from what I’m shocked to see was a butcher block of flab. Far as lifting weights, if he can bench his weight he’s good. But that heavy benching half that is bad. Big guys moving fast left to right being over weight end up tearing their knees up trying to move quickly. We need him as he was in year 1 and not like last year or looks to be this year.

And from my eyeball test, he's definitely in shape for RT. Because of where we drafted him, I'd like to see him play LT. Although, that might not be his natural position. So if he winds up at RT and Fant at LT, we'll be fine.
