NY Jets’ first-round pick Mekhi Becton can help Sam Darnold reach his ceiling

The NY Jets drafted Mekhi Becton with the No. 11 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft to help bolster and secure the team’s offensive line for quarterback Sam Darnold. And Becton could ultimately help Darnold reach his full potential.

Becton is a big and promising young athlete built to win — hence his nickname “Big Ticket” — and is quickly becoming a fan favorite before he’s ever stepped foot on the field.
