New York Jets<\/a> first-round pick Mekhi Becton is not a fan of how the team\u2019s coaches handled his injury last season.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Becton\u2019s three years in the NFL<\/a> have been less than ideal. After playing 14 games his rookie season in 2020, Becton could only suit up for one game in 2021 after suffering a knee injury.<\/p>\n

Though it was supposed to be at the most eight weeks of recovery, setbacks and the Jets\u2019 switching him from left to right tackle ultimately kept him out the rest of the way.<\/p>\n

Becton says the position change led to him not being able to play at all in 2022.<\/p>\n

“It made no sense to put me at right tackle,” Becton said via Newsday. “I hurt my right knee. That\u2019s going to be the knee I put the most pressure on [while backpedaling in pass protection]. I explained it [to the coaches], but no one cared.<\/p>\n

“I got forced to play a position I don\u2019t play, and then I was pretty much telling them I wasn\u2019t feeling good the whole time throughout camp, and I was told I shouldn\u2019t be complaining,” Becton said. “‘Go out there and do it.’ I was limping throughout the whole practice, and I just took a step and my knee buckled, and I got hurt again and had to get reconstructive surgery.”<\/p>\n

Becton fractured his kneecap and was deemed out for the 2022 season before it even began.<\/p>\n

There was speculation regarding Becton\u2019s injury setbacks because being overweight was a hot topic since he entered the league. He\u2019s listed at 6 feet 7 inches tall and weighing 363 pounds, but he has admitted to it fluctuating quite a bit if he isn\u2019t eating right and working out.<\/p>\n

Then again, Becton does make a point with the position switch that he\u2019d have to favor his right leg while playing right tackle.<\/p>\n

Going into the 2023 season, Becton is entering a crucial year. The Jets already declined his fifth-year option, meaning he\u2019s set for free agency in 2024. If he wishes to continue playing with the Jets, or find somewhere else to call home in the NFL, he\u2019ll need to stay on the field.<\/p>\n

With the Jets in prime position to break their playoff drought of 12 years in 2023, Becton is excited like the rest of his peers at One Jets Drive in Florham Park, New Jersey.<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t want to look too far ahead, but I definitely feel way more confident than I\u2019ve felt these past three years,” Becton said. “I feel like we\u2019re going to win a lot of games, have a lot of fun, and just the energy and vibe with the players at the facility is uplifting.”<\/p>\n

Becton noted losing 50 pounds this offseason and is ready to compete for that right tackle job with Max Mitchell, a rookie from the 2022 draft.<\/p>\n

The Jets liked what they saw from Duane Brown at left tackle last season, so he\u2019s expected to remain there to protect Aaron Rodgers<\/a>\u2019 blind side.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
