The moment smacked of "The Blind Side." All it needed was Sandra Bullock, Tim McGraw and their freckle-faced Hollywood son, S.J., to capture it on his video
recorder. In a game last November, Louisville mammoth left tackle Mekhi Becton
exploded out of his stance and staggered the man in front of him with a hand
punch to his chest. One would have sufficed, but Becton stayed after him and
delivered another blow. By now, the Syracuse defensive end -- Kingsley Jonathan
-- was going backward as if on roller skates. Becton finished him with one last
shove at the sideline Card
Tape (a possible late hit), launching him into The
Blind Side the Louisville bench area -- and out of the screen shot. The
one-man demolition, which occurred on a running play in Louisville's 56-34
victory, covered more than 15 yards, from first contact to last jolt. "We have a
monster," Louisville offensive line coach Dwayne Ledford told his wife on the
field after the game. Now the 6-foot-7, 364-pound player is a green giant,
drafted No. 11 overall by the New York Jets -- a big guy with a larger-than-life
reputation. Becton tossed around so many defenders in college that he made
frequent appearances in "Card Tape" -- a coach-created video that features
exceptional plays from the Cardinals' practices and games. Offensive linemen
aren't supposed to show up in highlight reels, but Becton transcends Mekhi
Becton the norm.
