Mekhi Becton is a massive man, but if you want to make the Eagles roster, you must offer versatility at multiple spots.
The former Jets first-round pick was drafted and played offensive tackle, but All-Pro right tackle Lane Johnson confirmed that Becton had taken snaps at offensive guard as he cross-trains under the legendary Jeff Stoutland.
Lane Johnson said Mekhi Becton has been playing guard at times.
