The New York Jets selected Mekhi Becton with the 11th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. That made him a celebrity in New York and New Jersey overnight. With that celebrity comes the power to change lives and he wasted no time in putting that newfound power to work.
Becton virtually visited The Goryeb Children’s Hospital in Morristown, NJ. He called in on his computer. Doctors wheeled him around on a monitor so he could say hello to the kids.
Kids asked him about how he ran so fast, how he pushed a truck, if he’s happy the Jets drafted him, and his shoe size.
