Error 0:

The New York Jets got a massive human being in Mekhi Becton, and Adam Gase is extremely happy about it.

The 2020 NFL draft was clear cut for the New York Jets, who desperately needed offensive line help to protect quarterback Sam Darnold. Investing a high round pick in a passer requires management to build around them and support them at all costs. General manager Joe Douglas did just that by selecting Mekhi Becton with their first-round pick.

Gase was also on board with Becton, expressing his initial interactions and excitement, per the New York Post.
