New York Jets first-round pick Mekhi Becton is not a fan of how the team’s coaches handled his injury last season. 

Becton’s three years in the NFL have been less than ideal. After playing 14 games his rookie season in 2020, Becton could only suit up for one game in 2021 after suffering a knee injury.

Though it was supposed to be at the most eight weeks of recovery, setbacks and the Jets’ switching him from left to right tackle ultimately kept him out the rest of the way.

Becton says the position change led to him not being able to play at all in 2022.

"It made no sense to put me at right tackle," Becton said via Newsday. "I hurt my right knee. That’s going to be the knee I put the most pressure on [while backpedaling in pass protection]. I explained it [to the coaches], but no one cared.

"I got forced to play a position I don’t play, and then I was pretty much telling them I wasn’t feeling good the whole time throughout camp, and I was told I shouldn’t be complaining," Becton said. "'Go out there and do it.' I was limping throughout the whole practice, and I just took a step and my knee buckled, and I got hurt again and had to get reconstructive surgery."
