02Scheme fit
Ideal system

The Shanahan outside zone scheme heavily relies on athletic offensive linemen who can move laterally and climb to the second level effectively.

Left TackleRight TackleSwing Tackle
Best role

Immediate starter at left tackle, with a ceiling to be a dominant, Pro Bowl-caliber blindside protector for years.

Wrong fit

A complex, multiple-scheme blocking system that requires intricate understanding of various techniques and protection calls, rather than relying on pure physical dominance.

Becton's unparalleled size and surprising athleticism make him a rare talent, best utilized in schemes that play to his strengths as a run blocker and allow him to develop his pass protection technique.

04The evaluation

Selected #11 overall in Round 1 of the 2020 NFL Draft by New York Jets out of Louisville.
