Becton, who made a name for himself after running a 5.10 40-yard dash at the combine, has had his drug test flagged.

At the combine, Becton made a name for himself afterThat solidified Becton as one of the top four offensive tackles in the 2020 class and a potential top-five pick, depending on who teams prefer. His mix of size and athleticism make many draft analysts, including Dane Brugler of The Athletic, believe Becton is a sure top-10 pick.

"The upside is too great for him to fall too far," Brugler said in March."The ability was always there, but could you get past the areas where he needs to clean up, to take him that high?" Becton, who turned 21 on Thursday, was a first-team All-ACC pick and a second team All-American as a junior in 2019. He was the winner of the Jacobs Blocking Trophy last season, given to the best offensive lineman in the conference.

If he is selected in the top 10, as many predict, Becton will be just the second Louisville player to be a top-10 pick in program history, the first since Amobi Okoye in 2007. If he's picked in the top nine, he'll pass Okoye as the highest pick in program history.
