Final Report
Lemon is a compact slot receiver who plays bigger than his size. He has a great understanding of how to alter tempo in his routes to create enough separation. Lemon is advanced in attacking zone coverages and rarely drops passes. Everything he does is with high effort and intensity. He doesn’t possess prototypical size or speed to physically dominate over the top or after the catch at the next level. Overall, his reliability, effort and ability to finish plays brings a promising floor. Lemon had a private 30 visit with the New York Jets.
