Former Jets First-Rounder Couldn't Stop Puking At Training Camp
Former Jets first-rounder and current Philadelphia Eagle Mekhi Becton had a tough day at training camp, though it wasn't Becton's performance that was at fault.
Becton was fighting the dizzying Philly heat on Wednesday and had trouble with continual puking, according to multiple reports from Eagles training camp.

Becton reportedly puked a total of 10 times but never delayed in returning to practice.
Surely, the training session will be a wake-up call for the 363-lb. lineman, though some blamed the heat for Becton's brutal nausea.
But when you're a former first-rounder deemed a ‘bust’ by your original franchise like Becton, set on redeeming himself, there's no time to give in to a little queasiness. Becton's not taking any time off at Eagles camp as he looks to rebuild himself as a lineman after a failed stint at left tackle for the Jets. The 25-year-old is working to get reps at right guard for Philly.
Becton will need to hold it down better than he did on Wednesday.
