Mekhi Becton has been in the news this offseason for a few reasons. On the positive side, he has transformed his body and seems to be in the best shape of his life. Some recent comments raised a few eyebrows.
An interview with Bob Glauber of Newsday and the article that followed was meant to document Becton’s return following two years battling injuries and fight to get down to a healthy playing weight. And while the work Becton has put in to shed over 50 pounds in going from 394 to 342 is impressive, it was an array of comments about the Jets coaching staff that garnered the most attention.
