Becton did not have any failed drug tests in college at Louisville.

Per the new CBA rules, Becton will now go into Stage 1 for no more than 60 days where “he will thereafter assume the same status as Players who have never been referred to the Intervention Program.”

The 21-year-old is not only considered to be one of the top offensive tackle prospects, but could wind up being selected in the top-10 next Thursday.

Becton made 33 starts between both left and right tackle while at Louisville.
