As training camp hits into full gear with most teams, one former first-round pick trying to regain a starting job is having a hard time simply keeping his meals in his stomach.
According to Brenden Deeg of theScore, Eagles offensive lineman Mekhi Becton puked “10 times” during camp but still continued to play.
“Mekhi Becton puked 10 times at camp and was back out the very next play. He’s gunning for the starting RG job,” Deeg wrote.
Eagles fans certainly weren’t amused by the fact that Becton was retching even if he did manage to get back onto the field.
“Ehhh not a great start to be yaking day 1,” one user said.
“Maybe someone may suggest he drink some water? Or something like that?” wrote another.
“10? And he still went back out there? Oh yea he’s locked in,” a third wrote.
“Is he sick or just super out of shape?” a fourth wondered.
Becton joined the Eagles on a one-year deal after being released by the New York Jets this past offseason. The Jets drafted Becton No. 11 overall in 2020 but after a promising rookie season, a combination of injuries and weight issues kept him from making any sort of real impact for the team.
Will Becton be able to make a bigger impact with the Eagles?
