The words that comes to my mind when I think of Becton, "All you can eat buffet"

[@yvngxnightmare]

He’s gonna be eating a lot of W’s this season

Becton is actually in great shape, signing with the eagles was the best thing that could happen to him

[@jimmyseliga3192]

@@DwerdyWerdy good for him. To little to late. Couldn’t stay off the Big Macs

[@neverfound5]

Not wishing him the best…injuries and complaining how they use him then signing with a team that’s gonna slide him to guard anyway

[@fakename5308]

Blaming him for being injured, being upset about being misused, and doing whatever he can to salvage his career is EMBARRASSINGLY ignorant, self-absorbed, and delusional. Prime example of why people who care more about their team than the sport of football shouldn’t be allowed to post public sports opinions🤦‍♂️

[@neverfound5]

@@fakename5308 nobody blamed anybody or is upset, you’re just putting your spin on someone else’s words. That is his situation, my fandom is based on my situation. Just because our teams don’t line up doesn’t mean I wish him ill will, I just don’t wish him the best. WHO WOULD?!? Thats kinda the whole point of being a fan is that you ONLY have the fandom. We’re not players or coaches or owners who have to have a professional loyalty to the game. Maybe learn to read and before trying to use your big kid words and move the participation trophy from in front of your screen

[@ohioisastate8574]

The Louisville turn style

[@MainnyG]

He definitely needed a change of scenery to reset is mind too much happened with the Jets to make him comfortable here especially if they wasn't going to pay him what he thought he was worth. Part 1

[@MainnyG]

You notice he doesn't have any problem playing wherever the eagle ask him to play with the Jets he felt entitled, he had those injuries plus he had the weight problems too and he felt he should only play left tackle and they eventually gave him that opportunity last year and he was terrible at it in a contact year at some point he is gonna have to look at himself in the mirror and take some of blame for is performance! P 2

[@yoholmes273]

Becton was an obese bust. The pick was a collosal disaster. The pick always was Wirfs. Only the JETS could blow it.

[@Wilbrown89]

The big difference about his experience in Philly so far likely lies within his own mindset. He didnt have a lot of offers and knows he needs to be open to whatever playing opportunity becomes open for him there. Whether that be G or T. He expected to be an LT with the Jets and getting moved to RT is what soured his attitude. His own expectations in NY are what hurt him.

[@grovepeate3316]

Right on.

[@Jairogliphx]

Man I like Mekhi 🤞🏻

[@jedwing]

Name a player that got better, that improved, that was developed by the Jets in the last decade. Belichik made players better. same with Pittsburgh, same as the teams that win consistently.

[@rawpower8669]

Unfortunately we had Becton during his adjustment-immature period into the NFL. He made serious money and didn’t take care of his body-diet. He went over 400 lbs! Not the Jets fault. I’m sure it was frustrating for the coaches. Hopefully he’s in a better headspace now

[@ladistar]

You’re really blaming the weight problems ?

[@kenoh7960]

@@ladistar ur not?

[@lightxgrenade]

I think the Jets screwed him over and I also think he screwed himself over. The two don't have to be mutually exclusive. That 1st injury is a freak accident, no one to blame. That 2nd knee injury - he let himself get out of shape and being nearly 400lbs probably didn't help with a recovering knee but also the Jets foolishly moved him to RT, stressing that repaired knee even more. His 4th year, Saleh tells him to "earn it" for the LT spot. He comes in the lightest he's ever been at the pro level, participates all throughout training camp but they give Duane Brown - a 40yr old coming off shoulder surgery who did practically nothing at training camp - the LT spot. Becton performs terribly but he also had one of the most disliked and arguably ineffective line coaches trying to help him. Fact is - both sides screwed up. I'm glad Becton got another shot, I hope he carves out a long career and I'm also happy that the Jets improved the line.

[@harlanabraham7772]

Not every player makes it with the team that drafted them. Plunkett failed with two teams before leading the Raiders to a SB. Daryl Lamonica was drafted by Buffalo and didn't hit his stride until after the trade to the Raiders.

[@DBS417-cq5di]

Lol he thought he was too good to play right tackle. And then blamed the coaches when he got injured because he was too heavy and out of shape. He should never of been drafted in the first round

[@rafaelcastro324]

I'm having a great off season to..... Lol 😅

[@grovepeate3316]

He stunk last year giving up the most sacks on the Jets .24 I think.He will eat himself out of Cheesestake Capital, mark my words.They put gravy on mack and cheese there.

[@mikeherman3706]

Run to a contender.

[@davidhalljr5268]

Once a player leaves our team I have no warm feelings for you💯 GO JETS 💚

[@serendipitousslim1529]

Saw this title and thought “Here we go, the moment we’ve all been waiting for” 😂 thankfully it seems like nothing but positive vibes. Happy the Jets moved off of Becton; his injury history, his prior attitude problems, and just the clearly rocky relationship between him and the coaches definitely soiled the well. I don’t hold any real ill will towards him, (unless/until he starts legitimately shit talking the Jets on a future podcast) hopefully he’s learned some lessons and can have a productive career from here on out.

[@ladistar]

What attitude problems? That’s all manufactured drama

[@LiamPfishing]

He thinks hes a pro bowler​@@ladistar

[@bangmateo7481]

I remember during one training camp they had an Ice Cream truck for the kids and families and the first guy I see is Becton in uniform stuffing his face with two ice cream cones and Im not kidding it was an eye sore.

Bruh

[@bangmateo7481]

@@ohioisastate8574 He was taking pics and joking with kids and that is when I realized Becton is like a big kid and not there yet.

[@robertgreen8325]

Jets tend to ruin good talent. Reason. Bad coaching especially on the offensive side.

[@paigecanfield1362]

Getting drafted in pro sports is like winning the lottery, you have to work hard to cash in and insure you and your family future.

[@michaelrobinson6014]

Who will have a better 2024.... Becton...or...Z. Wilson?

[@ace-solo]

I wish Becton the best, and I hope he shines unless it’s against us

[@badgerden7080]

I wouldn't want to play for Woody Johnson either.

[@elimorris11]

So with them he's okay with playing right tackle and guard but with us he made a big fus about only being a left tackle...........make it make sense

[@fearoffalling1985]

Becton was a good pick by Douglas. I wanted Wirfs, but Becton was okay. Mekhi had a very good rookie year the had two major problems: two unlucky injuries and... KEITH CARTER!!!!

[@TTony-tu6dm]

I know he was on the Jets, but he really didn’t PLAY for the Jets. Much anyway. And when he did finally play he stunk. And he’ll stink in Philadelphia

[@rafaelcastro324]

This dude is the Mark Sanchez version of offensive linemen. I think he's better off as a sumo wrestler. Football is not his thang. 🤷‍♂️

[@antonioambrosio545]

His personal doctor will tell him anything he wants to hear, he’s getting paid, he was avg to below avg at left tackle prior to ankle injury. After ankle injury, he was atrocious

[@danstan4060]

I really hated the pick in that 2020 draft. Was my least favorite of the top 4 tackles.

[@nicoimpact7045]

Agree 100%. Very very bustrating.

[@denzeldaniels319]

Hopefully he plays better than he did last year because Philly won’t be as fun as he think.

[@megavegan5791]

He's been a terrible pass-blocker, starting in Year 2.

[@TheTim16964]

#1 in penalties, and that's only half the story. Most of those were key plays such as red zone and 3rd down conversations.

#SaveTheOLine Fire Carter. Last year's OL disaster in many ways is due to the OL Coach Carter. he's simply crap. He's part of the Hackett package unfortunately. You can simply ask just about ANY OL player in Carter's past and I assure you they will say nothing nice. The guy's a bum.

[@Rod-rx5rr]

jets are one draft mr bectcon in 2020 nfl draft

[@neiljohnson3761]

His PFF rating speaks for itself.. never had anything against the young man but now he wants to come out and play the victim and blame everyone else ..I was hoping that wouldn’t be him. Good luck, old friend. I wish you the best and I hope you grow up and realize that the only time success comes before work is in the dictionary. You can’t outwork a bad diet. And at this point, I doubt he worked that hard anyway.🤷🏻‍♂️ #deuces

[@douglasvanbrunt1734]

The word I think of when I hear the name Becton is Pink Slip…. Meaning JD should have been handed his pink slip for making this pick. Anyone who thought a human that size would be more than an extremely short term investment is delusional.

[@SaseDyal]

It was time to move on from him ,to me he didn’t turned out to be the player we hoped for and especially that Miami game in Miami was absolutely atrocious

[@common12]

I wish him the best but I don’t think he is in the NFL for long- maybe he succeeds with limited snaps or finds a home at guard. What was telling to me is that he publicly and angrily states he is a LT and gets into it with Saleh- then he plays at LT and fails🤷🏻‍♂️ there’s a character issue there.

[@TheJetfighter666]

One of my biggest heartbreaks in my 47 years of rooting for the Jets. Sometimes you don’t get what you dream of. He was perfect coming out of college. That first year was everything a jets fan could hope for. Then, in an instant ….. it was over. He returned a shell of what he was. He is damaged goods and I really think the Eagles will realize early on, what they wasted 5.5 million dollars on. He can’t play hurt. He is not a warrior. I don’t think he will make it through training camp. Just look at his roots. Foooooooood!!! I reward this regime for being overly patient with him, 20 years ago he would have been kicked to the curb the minute he got hurt the second time, not alone the third. I do wish him luck in life because he seems like a really cool dude, but pro football is not his thing.

[@patrickdonofrio3082]

Becton was an absolute liability and it's unfortunate because he is an other-worldly prospect and talent. It's hard to see a path where he has a massive turn around, but I can see a 2-3 year window where he's servicable.

[@zachduplechin8352]

Big bust. Another jd miss.

[@knuckleh3ad]

Can’t help but wonder how things would’ve turned out if he showed up to the Jets with his new found attitude. Of course they all have good things to say about him now. So much wasted potential behind pettiness. Best of luck to him in Phi

[@Jetsfan11791]

The media came after this guy hard for showing up over weight and Saleh defended him. Now that he has one foot out of the nfl he wants to humble up ? We’ve seen this play out time and time again.

[@tysonmadding8559]

The only person that can fix him is in Philly if he can't be good there he toast

[@BillySBC]

For a big guy he never seems to square-up on his man, he locks his arms out with this hands together in the center of the opponent's chest as the passrusher speedrushes around him and at a certain point he loses leverage and gets over-extended and the attacker is in your QB's face. Great big body with really bad technique.

[@newkirk7591]

another jets bust, he was lazy and didnt want to get in shape.

I truly believe that 99% of us Jet fans wanted Becton to succeed and be a stud left tackle12 -14 years for us! I wish him well, but to be honest, and if he's honest with himself, he should realize he ate himself off this team! I don't think he ever turned down an: "All you can eat buffet!"

I'll be honest, i just came here to like the video and show support for one of my favorite jets youtubers. Otherwise i dont want to hear what this oversized toddler has to say

[@toddlangdon8631]

One thing we learned about 77 is he likes to talk shit! Maybe he should just worry about his own health

[@MrKeithcl]

If Becton was going to be a reliable tackle he would not have been let go. With the Jets he just was not reliable. I wish him well.

[@Kruelsworld]

I am personally happy we do not have the man who led the league in sacks allowed and was 2nd in penalties on my team. Best of luck but no reason to think about him anymore with our stacked line

[@OutsidetheEchochamber]

I believe lack of veteran leadership has set the offense back the last decade. We have made some huge improvements in that area now.

[@knicksfan4752]

I would hurt if becton does well, and becomes a good starter in Philly!

[@wisconsineaglesfan7925]

You shouldn't, dude apparently had an ego problem before realizing his is on possibly his last chance, and Jeff Stoutland is a phenomenal o-line coach that can turn a never played American football guy into a pro-bowl alternate LT (Mailata). Eagles media asked Becton if he would have played guard for the Jets, he said "no", but is now willing to for the Eagles. Sometimes a players ego needs to be checked and it's not the teams fault. Chris Carter from the Eagles to the Vikings is a great example.

[@outlaw6]

I actually like that Mekhi was absolutely the problem but he did come in here when we had Adam gase so he's been through the worst

[@elimendoza_]

He had his best season with Gase? There has been plenty of time since his rookie year to grow.

[@michaelrobinson6014]

Joke Douglas = Only recent NFL GM to have five straight losing seasons...and kept his job. What's the Vegas odds that he gets 6??? Thanks Woody!

[@michaelrobinson6014]

As you know... My INSANE belief is that the NYJ will RISE to the top...and STAY THERE...only after the relinquishing of the team...by Robert W. Johnson. My personal agenda....is applying the principles of project management to the sports entertainment industry...ideally with the NYJ.... I want at least two (2) championship prior to 2030.

[@joedimaggio3687]

Watch Becton become a great player with Philadelphia. That would be a typical Jet thing to happen.

[@ladistar]

You’re an absolute m0ron, this rarely ever happens. The jets have an excellent coaching staff.

[@ReySteffani-gj8hd]

Come on, Becton just out right sucked. We have all seen him lose his one on one's, against speed and power. He can blame his injuries on the coaching staff, them putting him at right Tackle all he wants. He just sucked, plain and simple. If he's happy in Philly, then I'm truly happy that he's not with my beloved Jets.
