Becton ran an official 40-yard dash time of 5.10.

He’s the heaviest player to run a sub-5.2 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine since 2006, per ESPN. Dallas Cowboys DT Dontari Poe may have him beat, though, running a 4.98 40-yard dash while weighing 346 pounds.

Either way, Becton is a rare blend of nimble of massive, and that’s going to help New York in the trenches.
