It is safe to say that New York Jets rookie offensive lineman Mekhi Becton is a very large man—to say the least. While the team's latest first-round draft pick was merely standing around when he impressed social media onlookers on Tuesday, Becton's size in comparison to Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder is simply staggering.
The tandem of Becton and Crowder were seen standing next to one another at practice on Tuesday while the Jets took full advantage of showing off the former's immense stature to the rest of the world.

The Jets originally selected the 21-year-old Becton with the No. 11 overall pick in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft out of Louisville. While his size certainly helped his draft stock rise leading up to the annual event, Becton was always considered to be one of the best all-around offensive lineman in this year's crop of talent. Becton will enter the league as a rookie in 2020 while serving as the Jets' starting offensive tackle as his 6'7″, 365-pound frame will be put to the test early on.
The Jets are looking to compete in the AFC East division this time around as legendary New England Patriots signal-caller Tom Brady is officially with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. While the Miami Dolphins are on the rise, it remains to be seen as to whether the team can truly compete in 2020 or not, leaving New York's biggest test as the Buffalo Bills, who remain primed to overtake the aforementioned Patriots in the division thanks to the absence of Brady.
