Former Eagles Super Bowl-winning guard and ex-Jet Mekhi Becton made a plea for his mother’s life amid a health concern.
The former Jets first-round pick posted Tuesday on X that his mother, Semone, is dealing with kidney problems and may need an implant.
“PSA: My Mom needs a kidney!!!! If anyone can help, please please please let me know!!!!,’” Becton pleaded in a post on X.
It is not clear what the issue is with his mother’s kidney or whether she was going through kidney failure, but he noted in a follow-up post that her blood type is B+.
That blood type is carried by roughly eight percent of donors, according to blood.co.uk, and those with B+ blood type can receive blood from groups B and O, per the article.
Some fans with O+ blood type have offered to sell a kidney to Becton, but he did not respond to any fans’ replies, most of which were positive and offering up prayers.
Becton was let go by the Jets prior to the 2024 season, but did have a supporter in Aaron Rodgers when he was the signal-caller during his chaotic time in New York.
Rodgers told Becton’s mother that he “hugs your son every day” during a particularly difficult stretch for the prized offensive lineman.
Becton’s mother also told The Post in an interview after he was drafted that she was his No. 1 cheerleader starting during his flag football days.
Semone was 41 when he was selected with the 11th pick five years ago.
“Although it was only flag football, I remember him going out and being scared that he was going to get hit,” Semone said of her son, who started playing at age 4. “But I’ve always been excited to see him play.”
Becton then moved on from Gang Green and landed with the Eagles where he slid inside to guard and looked like a new player.
After winning the Super Bowl with Philadelphia, he signed with the Los Angeles Chargers on a two-year, $20 million deal in free agency.
