It’s not easy being a big man in the scorching heat — just ask Mekhi Becton.
The 363-pound offensive lineman participated in the first practice of Philadelphia Eagles training camp but barely managed to stay settled.
Becton, who has faced criticism for his weight since being drafted 11th overall in 2020, reportedly vomited at least four times on Wednesday.

Another report said Becton “vomited” at least 10 times.
But Becton’s day wasn’t over, as he appeared to be right back on the field a play or two later.
The weather in the Northeast has cooled off a bit compared to recent weeks, but humidity remains very high.
Becton played just one game in 2021 before missing the entire 2022 season, but appeared in 16 games as a regular last season.
He was initially drafted as a left tackle but moved to the right side ahead of the 2022 season, which he missed due to an injury in training camp.

Becton joined the Eagles during the offseason after the New York Jets opted out of his fifth-year option.
Gang Green selected him as the fourth offensive lineman in that draft, behind Andrew Thomas, Tristan Wirfs and Jedrick Wills.
Becton received a 60.7 pass-blocking and 56.3 run-blocking grade from Pro Football Focus, up from 76.0 and 73.9, respectively, during his rookie season.
For now, the 6-foot-7 hulking hunk is expected to back up Lane Johnson and Jordan Mailata on the right side of Philadelphia’s offensive line.
The Birds started off strong last year by appearing in Super Bowl 55, but quickly lost momentum, losing six of their final seven games, including the NFC Wild Card Round against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

This led to speculation that head coach Nick Sirianni might be fired, but the Eagles decided to keep him and sign both DeVonta Smith and A.J. Brown to contract extensions despite rumors of tension in the locker room, particularly on offense.
