Mekhi Becton’s first job will be to protect Sam Darnold’s blindside. But it looks like he is ready for a second job: The team’s largest cheerleader.

The Jets’ massive first round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft out of Louisville spent Friday night and Saturday afternoon on Twitter following the NFL Draft and cheering on his new teammates, tweeting congratulations and words of encouragement at all the new picks by the Jets, posting excited emojis and funny gifs.

The selection of the 6-foot-7, 364-pound Becton made a lot of Jets fans happy, but he seems just as thrilled to be a member of Gang Green, and he’s letting his over 19,000 followers know about it.
