Bleeding Green Nation on Makai Lemon

First-round WR's debut underwhelming on stats but showed press-coverage technique on film.

First-round receiver's preseason debut was underwhelming: caught 3 of 5 targets for 3 yards, was targeted on Tanner McKee's interception, and muffed a punt. However, film review on All-22 showed better work at the line of scrimmage against press coverage—he beats initial contact, stacks the defender, and positions himself to win vertically. Primary concern: he looks inside without selling the break, allowing cornerbacks to read the route. The source notes he has never been an outstanding separator against press coverage and must improve at manipulating defensive backs once leverage is established. Not a disastrous debut, but not ideal.
