Lemon steps into No. 2 role with route traits and willingness to work traffic areas.
Lemon, the Eagles' first-round pick in 2026, steps into the No. 2 receiver role opposite DeVonta Smith under new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion. He has the route traits and foot quickness to manipulate coverage and can accelerate through the ball to create easy yards after the catch. Lemon is willing to work heavy traffic areas, which should lead to increased targets in Mannion's Shanahan-style system that will use more three-step and play-action concepts than previous Eagles offenses.
