IKEM EKWONUT, COLLEGE PLAYER
 

ESPN's Rich Cimini reports Jets GM Joe Douglas is "smitten" with NC State OT Ikem Ekwonu.

Ekwonu is viewed by many as the top tackle in the draft, and the Jets could have their pick of the bunch at No. 4 overall if edge rushers Aidan Hutchinson, Travon Walker, and Kayvon Thibodeaux go with the first three selections. Ekwonu was believed to be in the mix at No. 1 to the Jaguars before LT Cam Robinson was franchised and subsequently locked up to a multi-year deal. If the top three edge rushers go with the first three picks, the Jets might be choosing between Ekwonu, OT Evan Neal, and CB Ahmad Gardner.

ESPN's Rich Cimini reports Jets LT Mekhi Becton weighed 400 pounds at one point last season.

Becton, the 11th overall pick in 2020, started 13 games as a rookie but then battled conditioning issues last summer before spraining his MCL in Week 1 only to never play again. It was believed to be a 4-6 weeks injury, not a season-ender, but Becton let himself go during rehab. There's tension between Becton's camp and the Jets. Cimini wouldn't completely write off a trade, especially if New York takes a tackle with one of its two top-10 picks Thursday night.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By CRA · Posted

      So you can explain how he was top 10....but won't.  We need to look it up ourselves?  I googled it.  Can't find the argument based on stats and facts.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By CRA · Posted

      Well, I think Nike has it all down to a sweet mathematical science to max revenue of what they average person will buy in terms of price....and what the average person will do with a dirty jersey.   Then they construct them accordingly.   and yeah, it's not about being tackled in them but I'm sure Nike knows exactly how each tier will react to washings...and then sunlight, heat, fading and on and on.    Just asking google about it there are tons of tiktoks, you tubes, reddit posts, etc with folks complaining about what a simple wash can do to a new one.    Your washing machine gets cooler tech....so you pay more now and it doesn't last as long .  My son's football cleats that help max speed got a hole in them before they even made it into the season this past year.     Now our football jersey's are lightweight with new mesh because it's totally better.....the end game is always because the big corporations have found the synergy between new and improved and not lasting as long.  That's my take.  I think everything is made to wear out sooner under the guise of but it's better today.
