Carl Lawson and Mekhi Becton are not built the same, but they share a mentality: They both expect to win their individual matchups on every down.
It’s impossible to do, but it’s the approach that has led to the most intriguing matchup through the first four days of Jets training camp. And it’s only going to make Becton a stronger pass blocker and Lawson a better edge rusher.
The 6-2, 265-pound Lawson has stood out early with his quickness and ability to use a power spin to get past Becton and to the quarterback.
Lawson was in the backfield plenty, getting "sacks" and disrupting the offense the first three days of practice.
