Mekhi Becton Had Drug Test Flagged At Combine
5 years agoLouisville offensive tackle Mekhi Becton was one of multiple players that had his drug test flagged at the NFL combine in February, according to sources. NFL teams were already made aware of this, and Becton didn't have any failed tests in college. Under the new collective bargaining rules, he'll go into Stage 1 for no more than 60 days and will "thereafter assume the same status as players who have never been referred to the intervention program" is he has no further flagged tests or issues in 60 days. Becton is a candidate to be a top-10 draft pick next week, and this issue is unlikely to affect that. He's one of the top four offensive tackles available in this year's draft and could come off the board as early as No. 4 overall to the Giants.
