Jets offensive tackle Mekhi Becton showed up to his Wednesday press conference wearing a T-shirt to make a point to his critics.
His shirt detailed words that have been used against him throughout his two-year career thus far. In big lettering, it reads “Big Bust,” referencing his selection at No. 11 in the 2020 NFL draft. Becton has played in just 15 games in two seasons.
Additionally, the shirt uses the words “fat, lazy, out of shape, bum, overweight, sucks, injury prone” in a circle around the main lettering.
“A lot of words I’ve been called my whole life, so I put it on a shirt,” Becton said.
