Louisville football: Just how high could Mekhi Becton be drafted?

There may not have been a more impressive combine performance at the 2020 NFL Combine than former Louisville football star tackle, Mekhi Becton. We’ve known since the day that Becton stepped foot onto campus that not only was he going to be a star at the collegiate level but could have the opportunity to be a special talent in the NFL.

We watched for three years at the 6’7, 370-pound lineman manhandled grown men on the line of scrimmage as if they were Becton’s little-brother. While we saw it every weekend, the rest of the country still weren’t “woke” on Becton due to the fact that outside of Lamar Jackson in 2017 there wasn’t really much to watch in terms of NFL talent.
