10 NFL players who would survive on The Walking Dead
By Adam Carlson
10. Mekhi Becton, offensive line – New York Jets
Kicking off this list is a rookie. Mekhi Becton was selected in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft (Pick 11 overall) and looks to be part of the New York Jets’ plan on their offensive line for many years to come.
One of the first things people will notice about Becton is his size. He stood out among his peers as a giant of a man, standing 6-foot-7 and weighing 364 pounds with most of that mass being muscles.
In a world where survivors like Beta of the Whisperers can rule based on intimidation, size, and strength, it would be hard to find anyone (including Alpha’s right-hand man) who could match up with Becton.
At the combine, Becton told scouts that he loves football a lot but also has a passion for cooking and eating. Having someone to prepare delicious food with limited resources would be great for the morale and health of other survivors.
