It’s worth noting that Becton isn’t exactly fat.

FWIW: Louisville’s 6-foot-7, 364-pound OT Mekhi Becton, the largest player at this week’s Combine in Indianapolis, got measured with a mere 17 percent body fat.

Louisville OT Mekhi Becton – at 6'7" and 364 pounds – just ran an unofficial 5.11 40 with a 1.80 10-yard split.

That is absolutely ridiculous.

To put Mekhi Becton's initial 40-yard time into perspective, his 5.11u 40-yard dash is the fastest recorded time by a player who weighed 350 or more pounds at the #NFLCombine https://t.co/HdmFla2lQO

Mekhi Becton weighs as much as two Henry Ruggses and he was less than a second slower in the 40
