Bleeding Green Nation on Makai Lemon
From the article
Lemon finished his first professional football game with five targets that resulted in three catches for three yards. He had a pass go through his hands for an interception and he muffed a punt that he fielded off of multiple bounces before ultimately recovering possession.
STACKED’s take
Makai Lemon's preseason debut was rough: 3 catches, 3 yards, drop for INT, muffed punt.
Rookie WR and sole projected 2026 starter to play in Eagles' preseason finale against Cincinnati; missed half of spring practices and majority of training camp with hamstring injury. Finished with 5 targets, 3 catches, 3 yards, 1 dropped pass resulting in interception, and 1 muffed punt. The source raises fair questions about his readiness to contribute early as a rookie, noting he ran into Elijah Moore on one play and didn't know he was supposed to be on the field during a practice rep. Despite working with starters since returning from injury and Eagles attempting to force-feed him touches, the source expresses reservations about his outlook, especially given the Eagles' need for him to have a meaningful role sooner rather than later.
