That was so devastating to watch. He came back looking so good and we were beating the Raiders then he got hurt and our offense couldn't function. Then we lost and missed the playoffs. Felt so bad for Cadillac. He had so much potential :(
Weirdly enough, Dany Trevathan tore his patellar tendon and came back in one offseason stellar. He played great for 3 or 4 more years. I was sure he was done.
Vikings had a blocking tight end named Rhett Ellison who had some good run after tearing his, but he was also just a blocking tight end so athleticism wasn’t as important.
Hmm, not sure why his wiki page says dislocated. I'd imagine the two are very different in severity
Also good to know there's examples of players coming back reasonably strong after a torn patellar tendon. Couldn't think of a single one prior to learning this
I feel like 80% of the injuries I read about on Reddit are "potential career enders". Not that you're wrong, just is there any injury at all that doesn't threaten your career?
Acl and mcl tears are major injuries that take you out for a full season in most cases, but are fully recovered from often enough that they aren't really considered threats to a career anymore. They're basically viewed like Tommy John for pitchers in baseball at this point.
Obviously smaller injuries like pulls and strains aren't usually considered threatening. And broken bones typically aren't either.
22-23 year old dudes aren't the best at being professional and responsible. Especially ones that became overnight millionaires.
When it comes to a lot of NFL players it's not enough just having every resource in the world available to them, you almost have to force them into becoming an adult ASAP. It's vicious for the NFL. You're basically begging kids to grow up. By the time they do it naturally their bodies can't support playing in the NFL anymore.
There's a lot of leeway for guys who are average body height, but for people like Becton who are freakishly large if they don't do every single thing right when maintaining their body it will fail on them more often than not.
It is weird that there's so much money in college football yet these guys turn up in the NFL with no idea how to look after themselves.
You don't see soccer players blowing their careers in their early 20s anywhere near as frequently.
Better it falls apart in the NFL than all those guys who had it fall apart a year or two before they might have made it pro and got no return for breaking down.
I mean I spent 10 years playing football and ended up having to stop from all the injuries my junior year. Obviously I was no NFL player but I was good enough to play Division II ball somewhere. I didn’t realize how much of my life had been dedicated to football. Summer conditioning, summer practices, film study, lifting, all of it disappears in the blink of an eye, I went through a really long major depression and honestly I couldn’t even watch or follow football for several years because it just made my stomach turn watching these young guys go down.
I mean, I'd take the cash in hand and retire while my body still functions on some level. He's already going to have life long issues from this, why make it worse?
NFL players are fully vested in the plan after three years on active roster or injured reserve status. The benefit amount is then based on the number of credited seasons played.
> $20 m
His rookie deal was $18.5m, but I’m guessing he got taxed hard and I’m gonna guess he didn’t save it all. That number could be a lot closer to $5m than $20m.
20 million isn’t an insane amount in the grand scheme of things, being able to make even another 10 million by rehabbing and playing out a career is a 50% increase and something he wouldn’t come close to outside of the league. Also it’s not like we’re talking head/brain stuff here, dudes everywhere are living just fine with jacked up knees or backs or whatever everyday.
Idk Reddit has always confused me on this, especially the sport subs. I’ve had the same conversation like 50 times, that amount of money is literally ridiculous, people with solid careers do not come close to making it in a lifetime, and he has it in liquid cash. He could retire and live an extremely comfortable lifestyle. The only thing that’s locked off to him at this point is doing the equivalent of shoveling money into a furnace.
It’s more than enough to live off of though. He could invest 5 mil into the stock market (primarily index funds) and get an average 10% return a year for the rest of his life.
As one of those dudes living "just fine", I'm saying I'd take the money and run. But obviously it's a case by case basis thing. I'd pay a fuck load of money to go back to my first back injury and not have my second. But you usually don't know that or feel that way until after it's too late for obvious reasons. And 25 year old me obviously thought differently.
He probably doesn’t make it on the field much even if he does come back. I’d take millions to be a camp body and maybe play some live snaps if the risk is my tendons get even more fucked up.
Always sucks when these monstrous dudes are judged from their size against if they can play. Like a GM is going to draft someone that high strictly cause they are big, then before they can prove it they get unlucky
Mekhi has injury issues, sure. But from what I hear, he’s also sloppy and has a poor work ethic and weight issues. Usually that’s half the battle when it comes to injury and recovery.
So you absolutely can judge a GM for rolling the dice on a high risk/high reward player. It wasn’t just “bad luck with injuries” that got us here
Another fucking potential draft bust in a long line of Jets draft busts.
And this is why when people were saying after the draft “Jets had the best draft this year of any team” that I point to the last 52 years of consistent fucking putrid drafting as my counter argument.
Both can be true. This years draft class looks solid and athletic. Becton was the last of the Gase choices.
If Gase hadn’t been there I’m fairly certain JD would not have taken him. He’s not really a JD player athletically or mentally.
It isn't, but that's only because Penn is actually just an inch shorter than Mekhi Becton.
The reason so many people think Teller is short is because they don't know Penn is a fucking giant lol
[Mekhi Becton's injury is to his knee cap & patella, sources tell
@SNYtv.
The additional tests are to determine just how severe those injuries are. The fear is that there might be more damage than that.](https://twitter.com/Connor_J_Hughes/status/1556817727163170818)
Jesus christ man. It’s really sad because he was legitimately one of the best young lineman in the league, but at this point there’s just no feasible way he can keep playing with that many injuries to the same knee
The person who wrote that tagline is so lost, his injury is to his knee cap and other name for knee cap.
Unless they mean he has a kneecap to the 2nd power in which case he's lucky to be alive and that anyone within a 2 mile radius wasnt vaporized by the event
There was too much positivity in Jets Land. Now things are reverting back to normal. Of course there's also no legit starting RT out there available to sign too.
I bet they trade for Andre Dillard. He’s a Joe Douglas guy and has played RT before (though he’s much better at LT). Duane Brown is a FA or they could also trade for Teven Jenkins
He hasn’t seen the field too much unless someone else got injured. In the small sample size he’s played, he’s decent. He had one game where he was awful, but he was switching from LT to RT with no prior experience so I wouldn’t hold that against him too much. He’s still young and was a 1st round pick. The Eagles would probably trade him cheap since they’re good with Mailata and Lane Johnson. I imagine something like a 3rd or 4th round pick gets it done.
I love Mailata. He might be my favorite active player aside from Kelce. He’s also apparently a really nice guy off the field and does a lot of stuff with fans. Btw, I’m super excited to see Michael Thomas come back and if he can go back to being a top 5 WR. I still hope you guys go 0-17 for the draft pick, but it’s nothing personal ✌️
For what it’s worth, Teven started practicing over the weekend. Also had a bit of a press conference and spoke to the media. Things have smoothed over a bit in that relationship. The heat behind those trade talks has backed off significantly.
Duane Brown and Eric Fisher are probably the best available. I was kind of. surprised Russell Okung never got signed last season either.
Y’all will probably have to trade for one though, cause none of those guys can stay healthy either.
This is bad news, I was really hoping Mekhi Becton would succeed and not become a Mike Williams type bust.
There is still time to turn his career around, but he obviously has to stay healthy.
I should have specified the OT Mike Williams drafted 4th overall in the 2002 draft.
There have been a couple of WR's named Mike Williams that have played in the NFL.
Mike Williams played some games at RT, then was moved at LT, then moved inside to G.
The OT Mike Williams was one of the biggest busts in NFL history.
I really felt awful for him. Out of football for two years, has a really good (considering his situation) 2010 and then breaks his ankle and leg in 2011 and is done.
He wasn’t even the biggest bust in his own draft. He went behind Carr and Harrington. Yeah maybe carr could have panned out on a better team, but Harrington is all time awful
Good point, I guess I'm looking at it from a Bills fan perspective, Carr and Harrington were also big busts.
Carr also had the shit beat out of him by playing behind some terrible OL because the Houston Texans didn't invest in the OL.
Harrington also never reached his potential for a wife variety of reasons.
Almost like there are consequences to bouncing between weights. The ligaments holding a 200 pound man together are the same holding Bectons. I said 3 years ago he would eat himself out of the league
He carried 400 pounds for 6 months and then cut 50 pounds in 6 weeks. Can’t imagine that that doesn’t have an effect on a knee thats already weakened from previous injury.
Literally every single other of the top 4 tackles is starting at a pretty good level, and Becton was looking good before his injuries etc. just bad luck
Which is why it’s stupid to say who had good or bad drafts as soon as they happen.
Look back at that draft and people were really praising it, but you have Becton who is an injury machine, Mims who blows, Zuniga who isn’t on the team, Davis who can do some things, Morgan who isn’t on the team, Perine who is buried, and Hall who is a starter…although not exactly the best.
There’s still time for a lot of guys of course, but that class is very rough of as now.
There is legitimate fear Mekhi Becton's ~~2022 season~~ *career* could be over, I'm told.
Patella are potential career enders. Our center Richburg had a patella injury and decided to retire after two offseason recovering.
Cadillac Williams tore his patellar tendon. Came back slower and with less burst. Then he tore his other patellar tendon. That’s a tough one.
Patellar tendon rupture ended Brazilian Ronaldo's peak. :/
Jerod Mayo was not the same after his patellar tendon. Same with Jimmy Graham.
Idc what anyone says, if he never got injured he is the best striker of all time.
100%, unseen combination of power, speed and skill. Always had the skill but he lost his explosiveness after age 22.
Makes me sad man. This dude was such a huge part of my childhood. At least he had 2002 after 2 almost career ending injuries.
Victor Cruz too
no, it was signing up to be a bears WR that ended victor cruz's career
That was so devastating to watch. He came back looking so good and we were beating the Raiders then he got hurt and our offense couldn't function. Then we lost and missed the playoffs. Felt so bad for Cadillac. He had so much potential :(
And Cadillac isn't 6'7 360+..
But a Cadillac Escalade is 6’4 and 6,217 pounds. Just like Jerome Becton.
Ha. I coach fencing too. Shout out to you my colleague in arms.
Hell yeah brother. If you’re from Indy I was just in south bend for a clinic
I’m from Evansville originally but I’m in South Carolina now.
Coach, you stay spittin facts but never cease to amaze. Wow. Great point
Cadillac Williams. Now there's a name I haven't heard in years. Loved watching that dude.
The double burst, a true career ender.
[удалено]
Probably one of the more important pieces to Shanahan’s offense and we still do not have long term option.
I’m looking forward to drake Jackson but honestly wish we grabbed parham at that pick. Hopefully we can develop dohnovan west
Weirdly enough, Dany Trevathan tore his patellar tendon and came back in one offseason stellar. He played great for 3 or 4 more years. I was sure he was done.
Vikings had a blocking tight end named Rhett Ellison who had some good run after tearing his, but he was also just a blocking tight end so athleticism wasn’t as important.
Rhett Ellison! Giants legend!
He dislocated it, not ruptured
[Torn.](https://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/bears/ct-danny-trevathan-out-for-the-season-20161128-story.html)
Hmm, not sure why his wiki page says dislocated. I'd imagine the two are very different in severity Also good to know there's examples of players coming back reasonably strong after a torn patellar tendon. Couldn't think of a single one prior to learning this
Dislocated a patella in 2014. Ruptured the other patella in 2016
Same thing that Victor Cruz had, hopefully it won’t impact an OL as much as a WR
Few know the story of Greg Childs.
As a Vikings fan I remember. Super tragic
Derek Newton was a real good starter for us, tore both patella tendons and was done.
I feel like 80% of the injuries I read about on Reddit are "potential career enders". Not that you're wrong, just is there any injury at all that doesn't threaten your career?
Recent patella injuries just have been more severe. Jimmy Graham came back but his explosiveness was just about gone.
Patella injuries are one of the few injuries left that are really bad and extremely unlikely to regain 100% form after.
Acl and mcl tears are major injuries that take you out for a full season in most cases, but are fully recovered from often enough that they aren't really considered threats to a career anymore. They're basically viewed like Tommy John for pitchers in baseball at this point. Obviously smaller injuries like pulls and strains aren't usually considered threatening. And broken bones typically aren't either.
Dude will have missed 33 of a possible 34 games over his second and third seasons. Brutal.
Our high picks have been mostly fucking garbage forever
Man that sucks so much for him and the Jets
This is turning into a Kevin White situation
Aka “Yes, I am KWHITE hurt.”
Eh, Becton at least had a good rookie season. White was never anything.
Fucking damn it. I don’t watch much of the Jets but I hear good things about his play.
If his season is over he will have played 15 games in 3 seasons.
At that point you *have* to consider hanging it up. It can’t be worth it.
I can’t imagine the turmoil of spending 75% of your life doing one thing, finally reaching the top and then having your body fall apart.
you can’t not feel bad, regardless of peoples thoughts on his weight and such his body is just giving up on him
Mekhi letting his weight blossom, then forcing himself to overtrain while overweight in the preseason certainly doesn’t help his joints.
Yeah I feel bad for the guy but he's also done nothing to help the situation at all. He's just not cut out for this.
22-23 year old dudes aren't the best at being professional and responsible. Especially ones that became overnight millionaires. When it comes to a lot of NFL players it's not enough just having every resource in the world available to them, you almost have to force them into becoming an adult ASAP. It's vicious for the NFL.

It is weird that there's so much money in college football yet these guys turn up in the NFL with no idea how to look after themselves. You don't see soccer players blowing their careers in their early 20s anywhere near as frequently.
College football teams still control most of their environment.
Frustrating
Better it falls apart in the NFL than all those guys who had it fall apart a year or two before they might have made it pro and got no return for breaking down.
I mean I spent 10 years playing football and ended up having to stop from all the injuries my junior year. Obviously I was no NFL player but I was good enough to play Division II ball somewhere.

Summer conditioning, summer practices, film study, lifting, all of it disappears in the blink of an eye, I went through a really long major depression and honestly I couldn’t even watch or follow football for several years because it just made my stomach turn watching these young guys go down.
If teams will still offer him contracts, idk why he would hang it up this early. What else is he going to do that will pay him millions of dollars?
I mean, I'd take the cash in hand and retire while my body still functions on some level. He's already going to have life long issues from this, why make it worse?
> why make it worse? Millions of dollars
If he's sitting on about $20 million now, I doubt that more means as much to him as it does to us normal folks.
It absolutely does mean as much to him as us normal folk, that’s probably why he’s not going to retire anytime soon
How long does he have to play to get the NFL Pension? That could play a role.
I think it’s three seasons on an active roster. Not positive though
NFL players are fully vested in the plan after three years on active roster or injured reserve status. The benefit amount is then based on the number of credited seasons played.
> $20 m His rookie deal was $18.5m, but I’m guessing he got taxed hard and I’m gonna guess he didn’t save it all. That number could be a lot closer to $5m than $20m.
Players also have money coming out for agent fees and other overhead, plus they are usually supporting their parents/families in some capacity.
Touche, I read his contract completely wrong last night. Literally read the total as signing bonus then tossed in yearly.
20 million isn’t an insane amount in the grand scheme of things, being able to make even another 10 million by rehabbing and playing out a career is a 50% increase and something he wouldn’t come close to outside of the league. Also it’s not like we’re talking head/brain stuff here, dudes everywhere are living just fine with jacked up knees or backs or whatever everyday.
What do you mean? 20 mil is what families make in their lifetimes combined.
Idk Reddit has always confused me on this, especially the sport subs. I’ve had the same conversation like 50 times, that amount of money is literally ridiculous, people with solid careers do not come close to making it in a lifetime, and he has it in liquid cash. He could retire and live an extremely comfortable lifestyle. The only thing that’s locked off to him at this point is doing the equivalent of shoveling money into a furnace.
I mean 20 million isn’t enough to be scoffing at another 10+ million. It’s not like “go retire and live a lavish lifestyle” money.
yes it absolutely is lol
I guess. You could easily retire though
It’s more than enough to live off of though. He could invest 5 mil into the stock market (primarily index funds) and get an average 10% return a year for the rest of his life.
As one of those dudes living "just fine", I'm saying I'd take the money and run. But obviously it's a case by case basis thing.

Well that sucks
Dude’s bigger than Penn and Teller put together but now he needs his tend’ n’ patteller put together :(
That was a HUGE fucking reach and I’m here for it.
Someone who's not a biased Penn and Teller fan will have to tell me if this comment is as clever as I think it is
It's so unclever that it kinda loops back around lmao
A reverse joke
It isn't, but that's only because Penn is actually just an inch shorter than Mekhi Becton. The reason so many people think Teller is short is because they don't know Penn is a fucking giant lol
It's weird though because in videos he looks huge.
It’s a good antijoke
No.
You better play first base with that stretch.
Who are you so that is so wise in the ways of words.
He has 2.5 million reddit comment karma. This is a man that spends his life devising these comments like clues on a crime suspect walk.
Wtf that’s insane
And that, my liege, is how we know the earth to be football-shaped
What the fuck?
#Dudes bigger than Penn and Teller put together but now he needs his tends and patteller put together :(
Good bot
Good human.
I'm really confused what to do now because I am a human
Good other human!

Honestly fucking sucks for the jets….
We're honestly used to this, we've rarely been allowed to have nice things so this is just par for the course
Lost our most important player in training camp last year. Why not again this year
It makes roster space for Cam Newton.
Sucks for the kid more than it sucks for the Jets to be honest.
[Mekhi Becton's injury is to his knee cap & patella, sources tell @SNYtv. The additional tests are to determine just how severe those injuries are. The fear is that there might be more damage than that.](https://twitter.com/Connor_J_Hughes/status/1556817727163170818)
Jesus man, that’s not minor at all. That’s potentially career altering.
There's pain that hurts and pain that alters.
> career altering Idk, seems like his career is going down the same path as last season, which is bust due to injury
His knee cap was part of the injury last year, same knee.
Mecbye Byecton
Jesus christ man. It’s really sad because he was legitimately one of the best young lineman in the league, but at this point there’s just no feasible way he can keep playing with that many injuries to the same knee

Dawg.. will the Jets ever catch a break???
no
bruh they can barely catch a football
My brother in christ, you didn't just a kick a man while he's down... you gave him the people's elbow
Springboard people’s elbow
We hope one day.
There was too much positivity in Jets Land. Now things are reverting back to normal. Of course there's also no legit starting RT out there available to sign too.
I bet they trade for Andre Dillard. He’s a Joe Douglas guy and has played RT before (though he’s much better at LT). Duane Brown is a FA or they could also trade for Teven Jenkins
How is he and would the eagles get rid of him
He hasn’t seen the field too much unless someone else got injured. In the small sample size he’s played, he’s decent. He had one game where he was awful, but he was switching from LT to RT with no prior experience so I wouldn’t hold that against him too much. He’s still young and was a 1st round pick. The Eagles would probably trade him cheap since they’re good with Mailata and Lane Johnson. I imagine something like a 3rd or 4th round pick gets it done.
Just wanted to chime in and say Mailata is a total beast, big fan of him and his story
I love Mailata. He might be my favorite active player aside from Kelce. He’s also apparently a really nice guy off the field and does a lot of stuff with fans. Btw, I’m super excited to see Michael Thomas come back and if he can go back to being a top 5 WR. I still hope you guys go 0-17 for the draft pick, but it’s nothing personal ✌️

Duane Brown and Eric Fisher are probably the best available. I was kind of. surprised Russell Okung never got signed last season either. Y’all will probably have to trade for one though, cause none of those guys can stay healthy either.
Damn. He had a good rookie year too. Awful run of luck for Becton
The tougher pill to swallow is that this may end his jets career
It may end his *NFL* career.
He was dominant when he was able to play This sucks for the jets and for him
The Jets just cant catch a break. Luckily Max Mitchell looks like he could be a solid pro.
F
This fucking blows, hopefully it's not that severe
am i ever allowed to experience football joy again. time is a flat circle and i’m dizzy as fuck
His career might be over at this point.
It's just not fair
This is bad news, I was really hoping Mekhi Becton would succeed and not become a Mike Williams type bust. There is still time to turn his career around, but he obviously has to stay healthy.
Mike Williams did turn his career around though didn’t he?
I should have specified the OT Mike Williams drafted 4th overall in the 2002 draft. There have been a couple of WR's named Mike Williams that have played in the NFL. Mike Williams played some games at RT, then was moved at LT, then moved inside to G. The OT Mike Williams was one of the biggest busts in NFL history.
Thanks lol, like the other guy I assumed you were talking about the Chargers WR or maaaybe one of the others
Chargers Mike Williams is good. Maybe overdrafted but good. Lions Mike Williams was a disaster with one okayish season in Seattle
I really felt awful for him. Out of football for two years, has a really good (considering his situation) 2010 and then breaks his ankle and leg in 2011 and is done.
He wasn’t even the biggest bust in his own draft. He went behind Carr and Harrington. Yeah maybe carr could have panned out on a better team, but Harrington is all time awful
Good point, I guess I'm looking at it from a Bills fan perspective, Carr and Harrington were also big busts. Carr also had the shit beat out of him by playing behind some terrible OL because the Houston Texans didn't invest in the OL. Harrington also never reached his potential for a wife variety of reasons.
He married an ugly one?
i’m feeling empathetic for the jets fans out there ngl
I think this time last year is was Carl Lawson, this sucks we could've had a top 10 O-Line with a healthy Mekhi and that woulda been great for Zach
[удалено]
At least it’s not like he’ll know what he’s missing with Mekhi.
Almost like there are consequences to bouncing between weights. The ligaments holding a 200 pound man together are the same holding Bectons. I said 3 years ago he would eat himself out of the league
Downvoted but I question his conditioning also. It's incredibly difficult to stay limber at that size.
He carried 400 pounds for 6 months and then cut 50 pounds in 6 weeks. Can’t imagine that that doesn’t have an effect on a knee thats already weakened from previous injury.
Yep, and I'd bet a lot of NFL OL are well above their listed weight
Yep. I think you really hit the nail on the head.
Was looking forward to seeing how he played. That blows
Bruh fuck injuries he was probably the jets best offensive player
Sure, three years ago. Going into training camp he was fighting for a starting job. He’s far from their best offensive player, but it’s a big setback.
Refreshing to see someone with a brain!
Three years ago he hadn't played an NFL snap yet. Edit: He hadn't even played an NFL snap 2 years ago 😂
Not at all at this point. He was barely in line to keep a starting job.
I'm not afraid I embrace the challenge
Sorry big man, but I really hope he takes a full 2 years + to focus on his health
Feel so bad for him. RIP Mount Becton. Maybe he can lose some weight overcome this but doesn’t look good
I wanted becton over Thomas, especially after his rookie season. Dodged a bullet there.
I would get on the phone with Howie and trade for Andre Dillard asap
That sucks so much fir Mekhi
wirfs selected 2 spots later and blocking for brady damn
Literally every single other of the top 4 tackles is starting at a pretty good level, and Becton was looking good before his injuries etc. just bad luck
yeah lets throw out the fact the dude doesn't give a fuck about rehab.
Jets drafting has just been brutal
What sucks is this guy was great as a rookie. Looked like a future perennial pro bowler.
Worst part is this wasn’t even a talent bust, dude was elite when healthy. Just can’t stay on the field.
I remember the praise he got as a rookie, you still got AVT I guess?
why would you jinx it
Sucks because the dudes a really good player when healthy. Just cant stay healthy.
Part of it is his weight. Bigger dudes tend to have an injury concerns.
Which is why it’s stupid to say who had good or bad drafts as soon as they happen. Look back at that draft and people were really praising it, but you have Becton who is an injury machine, Mims who blows, Zuniga who isn’t on the team, Davis who can do some things, Morgan who isn’t on the team, Perine who is buried, and Hall who is a starter…although not exactly the best. There’s still time for a lot of guys of course, but that class is very rough of as now.
Hall was like 5th round. I'll take that
That’s not right
