“We saw Makai Lemon moving around the formation on orbits, jets, and returns, something that will be important for the rookie receiver who is adept at finding the soft spot against zone coverage but not ideally equipped to handle press-man coverage.”

Sounds like the first offensive play of Eagles camp was in 12-personnel. With DeVonta Smith, Dontayvion Wicks, Dallas Goedert, Johnny Mundt. Makai Lemon and Hollywood Brown also got first-team WR reps. Via The Athletic: <https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7478730/2026/07/29/eagles-training-camp-jonathan-greenard-jalen-carter-jalen-hurts/>

Eagles WRs and TEs in 2 WR 2 TE set (12 personnel): Devonta Smith Dontayvion Wicks Dallas Goedert Johnny Mundt Makai Lemon and Hollywood Brown worked in with the 1st team (doesn’t sound like they did in 12P) Take: It’s early in camp and Lemon missed time but worth tracking. This is my biggest concern with Lemon for 2026 - what his route share will be some 12P may happen a lot. Via @​ZBerm

Lemon, a first-round rookie, is expected to be ready for training camp after a hamstring injury during spring workouts. The source projects he should look good in training camp and is the Eagles' best option to fill the No. 2 receiver role behind DeVonta Smith as a featured member of the passing game and possibly the third-highest target getter behind Smith (113 targets last year) and Dallas Goedert (82 targets). The Eagles need him to hit the ground running this summer to acclimate to the system and build rapport with Jalen Hurts.

Lemon is a first-round rookie receiver expected to fill the No. 2 receiver role behind DeVonta Smith and potentially be the third-highest target getter behind Smith (113 targets last year) and Dallas Goedert (82 targets). He was sidelined with a hamstring injury during spring workouts but is ready for camp; he's the type of player who should look good in training camp, and the Eagles need him to acclimate to the system and build rapport with Jalen Hurts. Of the receiver options around him, none projects as cleanly into the featured No. 2 role.
