\n The Jets will put helmets on this week and then progress to fully padded practices next week. There is not much debate about who the top attraction will be for the Jets players to see in action.<\/p>\n

Everyone from the coaches to the players is eager to see rookie left tackle Mekhi Becton on the field. He has turned heads already around the Jets because of his massive size. At 6-foot-7 and 370 pounds, Becton is a large man among a group of large men.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re excited to get him on the field, get him going against our defensive guys,\u201d Jets coach Adam Gase said last week. \u201cThere\u2019s going to be a learning curve there because once he starts seeing how these guys will do their stunts and the way that the front changes and the calls. With him playing tackle, there are less moving parts than there would be if he was playing guard or center as a rookie. A high percentage of the time he\u2019s blocking the guy that\u2019s in front of him. I can\u2019t wait to see how training camp goes. I know going against Jordan [Jenkins] is going to be a great thing for him because you\u2019re going against a veteran guy that really is going to see what he\u2019s all about. That\u2019s going to be very good for us and it will be great for him.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Jets drafted Becton with the No. 11 overall pick out of Louisville, hoping he could protect Sam Darnold\u2019s blindside for the next decade. He is going to get a crash course in life in the NFL during this abbreviated training camp, so the Jets know to expect growing pains. Still, there is excitement over the potential of their mountain of a rookie.<\/p>\n

\u201cI call that rookie the Great Wall of Green,\u201d guard Alex Lewis said. \u201cHe\u2019s massive \u2014 6-8, 360 \u2014 and he looks great. I\u2019m excited to see what he can do on the field when we put pads on. I know he\u2019s coming in and he\u2019s quiet, as a rookie should be, but he\u2019s a sponge, he\u2019s soaking up everything we\u2019re telling him. I\u2019m looking forward to seeing what he can do.\u201d<\/p>\n

Becton is the cornerstone of the Jets\u2019 rebuilt offensive line. While the others are all on short-term deals, the Jets hope Becton can buck their trend of recent first-round picks and have staying power with the Jets. The last time the team drafted an offensive lineman in the first round was 2006 when it selected both tackle D\u2019Brickashaw Ferguson and center Nick Mangold. Those two were the foundation of the offensive line for a decade. The Jets can only hope for a similar run by Becton.<\/p>\n

Even though Becton is huge, the Jets have been impressed with the shape he reported in. Photos of him posted on the Jets website make him look lean \u2014 if that is possible at his size.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to say lean, but the guy is a big man,\u201d Gase said. \u201cHe did a great job of sticking with the program that he was doing in the offseason all through the summer. At the end of the day, you\u2019re looking at a 370-pound man. He is one of the biggest players I\u2019ve ever been around. The way that he\u2019s built, he\u2019s always going to look big. He is lean but he\u2019s a big man.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lewis is going to be playing next to Becton on the left side of the line. The veteran said he will do his best to help Becton develop.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a rookie, the game<\/a>\u2019s very fast,\u201d Lewis said. \u201cEverybody goes through that adjustment, the speed of the game, the speed of players. My job, I don\u2019t want to carry an extra burden, I just want to help him along when it comes to the mental aspect. You don\u2019t want him thinking too much and playing slow. If I could be out there dialing in all the calls so it\u2019s not a whole lot of thinking and he can just play football, that\u2019s what I\u2019m going to do.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
