Drums Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Too early. Looked pretty good rookie year, got injured second year. Needs to prove his toughness this year (a concern in year 1, year 2 is a wash) and that he can block out the noise (started believing his own hype year 1, seems to read too much of what the outside is saying). Make or break year for him. Hoping for the best because he was fun as hell to watch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post UntouchableCrew Posted May 25, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 25, 2022 There's plenty of reason to be skeptical based on injury history and perceived motivation. But, like, he's been good when he's played. I don't see how anyone could claim he's a bust at this point. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Beerfish Posted May 25, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 25, 2022 If he plays less than half of this upcoming season for any reason I see no reason he should not be dumped in with Dee Milliner. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Island Leprechaun Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 I think it's a "wait and see" situation. What do we really know as internet posters about his situation? Absolutely nothing. But that won't stop the usual arm-chair speculation of people who have nothing better to do at the moment. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also think we'll find out about Becky really fast, whether it's in training camp or the first quarter of the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FootballLove Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 I remember those vids that Jets lover made during Becton's rookie campaign...the whole Big Ticket, Highway 77. Becton was phenomenal. He even shut down some of the league's best pass rushers. He clearly has the talent to be a top Tackle. What could derail him are two things: Lack of motivation to work out and stay in shape, and injuries. From what we have seen so far this offseason, he is working out and looks fantastic. So to me that only leaves injuries as a possible path to the waiver wire or trade. On the injury front, he scares me. He injured his chest his rookie year and took time off, then the knee last season. So yeah, he has to prove he can be durable and that takes a few seasons. Just another reason Saleh may move him to RT. Less demanding, and less upheaval to the line/team if he gets injured again, 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. To me, he’s at the exact moment in time of his career where he’s either going to be good or he’s going to bust, and it’s probably going to be determined within the next sixty days. My position on the matter is that it’s probably 50/50 whether or not he makes it as a professional, with the arrow pointing straight down. I believe that the Jets, who are going to suck this year, should not be a party to this type of gamble. Now, if Becton was a free agent right now, he’s probably fairly coveted on the open market…but if he shows up in three weeks out of shape and pulls a quad? He’s worthless to everyone and you can start digging a hole for his future prospects. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
