The New York Jets drafted Becton in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft. Becton’s mother spoke to the New York Post after her son landed with the team. She said she’s always been Becton’s biggest supporter, even when he was just a young flag football player.
“Although it was only flag football, I remember him going out and being scared that he was going to get hit,” Semone said of her son, who started playing at age 4. “But I’ve always been excited to see him play.”
Becton agreed to a two-year deal with the Chargers last month.
