As Mekhi Becton Battles Through Injury to Get Ready for the Dolphins, Is He the Only Jets Player to Show Resistance?

The New York Jets couldn’t even get their season started this year. Four snaps into the game, their new signing QB Aaron Rodgers suffered a gruesome injury against the Buffalo Bills. And just last week, in the rematch with the divisional rivals, OT Mekhi Becton also got injured. But he is battling through it!

The Jets have been disappointing on both sides of the ball this season. The offense lacks bite, and the defense lacks stability. In such an environment, Becton’s perseverance is commendable. But will his struggles inspire the rest of the Jets squad, or must he do it alone?

Mekhi Becton is an inspiration to all

Becton plays on the left side of the defense, but against the Bills last Sunday, he didn’t finish the game. The 24-year-old left the game in the first half as the Jets lost 32-6. He had injured his ankle during a tackle and couldn’t step back on the field. Now, he is showing his determination to his teammates.

Nobody would’ve batted an eye if Becton couldn’t participate in the next clash. But that is not the cloth from which this youngster is cut. The Jets fans can only hope that his resilience is infectious and the entire squad takes on the same mindset.
