Mekhi Becton was ‘confused’ about Mike LaFleur’s comments on his play

New York Jets left tackle Mekhi Becton‘s pass-protection struggles in practice throughout the 2021 offseason have been well documented. He frequently struggled to handle teammate Carl Lawson and then had a rough time against the Green Bay Packers’ edge rushers in joint practices held at the Packers’ facility in Wisconsin.

On Aug. 19, Jets offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur talked to the media about Becton’s struggles.

Mike LaFleur on Mekhi Becton:

"He's not playing at his best, and he knows that. He's a good dude and he's going to work through all this stuff.
