A 671-pound version of Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen? New York Jets bullish on OL tandem

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- From the moment he arrived last year at One Jets Drive, strapped a set of shoulder pads on his 6-foot-7, 363-pound frame and proclaimed himself ready to dominate the NFL, left tackle Mekhi Becton hasn't been afraid to play the hype game. Big man, big expectations.

He did it again Monday after the New York Jets' first organized team activities session. The Jets tweeted a photo from the practice, a shot of Becton and his new right-hand man, rookie guard Alijah Vera-Tucker.

"LEFT SIDE," the Jets' tweet said.
