Barring any unforeseen circumstances, rookie Mekhi Becton will begin 2020 as the Jets’ starting left tackle. It remains to be seen who will be lining up on the other side of the line at right tackle, though.

The battle for the right tackle spot will come down to free agent signing George Fant and second-year pro Chuma Edoga. Fant is the favorite to win the job, as New York did not give him a three-year deal worth $27 million to sit on the sideline. Edoga’s play in 2019 did not exactly prove he is ready to step into a starting role, either.
