The strong rapport Aaron Rodgers and Mekhi Becton quickly built didn't go unnoticed by the mother of the New York Jets offensive tackle.

"She went up to him and just told him, 'Thank you for having my son's back,' and things like that," Becton said of his mother, Semone, in an interview with ESPN's Rich Cimini. "And he was just like, 'Mrs. Becton, I hug your son every day, so I know how it is.' And she started to tear up a little bit and they even hugged. So it was a great moment, for sure.
