FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Mekhi Becton had to say thank you to Carl Lawson.
Becton, the second-year left tackle, has been beaten often in training camp by the Jets’ new edge rusher. But when the Jets faced the Giants in Saturday’s preseason game, Becton said the game was slower because of his daily battles with Lawson.
"He’s helping me a whole lot," Becton said. "After the first drive Saturday, I went up to him and was like, ‘Yo, I appreciate you, bro. You made me a whole lot better. They have nothing on you, so I appreciate you a whole lot.
