Considering the hype surrounding Mekhi Becton entering training camp, it’s only appropriate that he begins the 2020 season at the top of the rankings.

Becton is all but a lock to be New York’s starter at left tackle once Week 1 of the regular season rolls around. He’s still a little bit raw in his technique, but Becton has the physical traits and natural blocking ability to become an impact player on the line right off the bat.

The Jets went big, literally and figuratively, when they selected Becton, who many viewed as a boom or bust prospect, 11th overall. As long as he develops as Joe Douglas and company expect him to, New York could have its left tackle of the future.
