Lemon’s family was spotted celebrating when Steelers GM Omar Khan jumped on a call with the former college football star. However, the conversation was short-lived after Philly swapped picks with the Dallas Cowboys.
“Hey, why is Philly calling me?” Lemon questioned while still speaking to Khan.
The sequence became even more chaotic when Lemon’s agent chimed in on the situation. His agent revealed that the Eagles traded up to draft the receiver, which led to a wild moment.
Now, the Eagles add Lemon to a talented group of receivers that currently includes A.J. Brown and Devonta Smith. However, it’s very likely that Brown ends up being traded before the start of next season as the New England Patriots and other teams lurk.
Roseman and the Eagles are always dangerous during the NFL Draft considering the team’s significant success in identifying players. However, the shocking move for Lemon doesn’t bode well for the Steelers, who desperately need help at receiver.
Meanwhile, Pittsburgh is also uncertain about its quarterback position as Aaron Rodgers mulls retirement again. The Steelers currently featured Will Howard and Mason Rudolph as their two QB options for 2026.
