USC’s Makai Lemon Says Rams Would Be A ‘Perfect Fit’ Ahead of NFL Draft

USC star wide receiver Makai Lemon is just a few hours away from finding out which team he will begin his NFL career with. Lemon is one of the top receivers in the draft and is projected to be a top-15 pick.

There are multiple teams that could benefit from the addition of the reigning Biletnikoff Award winner. The Los Angeles Rams have the No. 13 pick and are one team that has been consistently linked to Lemon leading up to the draft.

Lemon told reporters he has imagined himself playing with different teams and described the Rams as a “perfect fit” for his play style.

“I feel like it’d be a perfect fit, definitely,” Lemon said, per the California Post. “Just adding my play style, adding what I can do to the team.”

Playing alongside star wide receivers Puka Nacua and Davante Adams would also be a major advantage for Lemon in his rookie season. Adams is a six-time Pro Bowler with 12 seasons of NFL experience. Meanwhile, Nacua had one of the best rookie seasons in NFL history in 2023 and could be a long-term partner for Lemon on the Rams.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua (12) and Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams (17) celebrate after a touchdown during the first quarter against the San Francisco 49ers at Levi’s Stadium on Nov 9, 2025.

“Just learning from them guys,” Lemon said, per the .  “They’ve had so much production and been in the league and seen so much and done so much. So, to be alongside them would mean a lot.”
