In this photo from Zoom video, New York Jets rookie offensive tackle Mekhi Becton speaks to reporters during a video conference call in Florham Park, New Jersey, on Aug. 18, 2020. There's one small word everyone uses — without fail — when they're asked to describe Becton. Big. When you're 6-foot-7, you inevitably stand out. Add in the fact the New York Jets rookie offensive tackle is a whopping 370 pounds, and well, it's tough to not overuse that particular adjective. (AP Photo/Dennis Waszak Jr.)
