Mekhi Becton

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports RG Mekhi Becton, formerly of the Eagles, has signed a two-year, $20 million contract with the Chargers.

Becton was the 11th overall pick of the NFL Draft by the Jets in 2020, but missed nearly two full seasons with knee injuries. After starting 30 games in four years with New York, the Eagles brought him in to play right guard. Becton started 15 games for Philadelphia, had a 75.2 overall grade per PFF (21st among Gs), and won a Super Bowl. He excels in the run game, which will fit right in with Jim Harbaugh’s Chargers who needed help on the interior offensive line.
