Draft Scouting Report

Pro Comparison: Amon-Ra St. Brown
Summary

Makai Lemon is a smaller, slot-dominant receiver who plays bigger than his size. That archetype continues to thrive in today’s NFL. He stays grounded through the catch, rarely leaving his feet, and consistently positions himself to create after the catch. Lemon will be a Day 1 starter with Pro Bowl upside.

About
  • 2025: Unanimous All-American; Biletnikoff Award winner (nation’s top WR)
  • 2025: Led Big Ten in yards after catch (502)
Strengths
  • Glides across the field and stays grounded through the catch, creating YAC opportunities.
  • Presses defenders well before sinking his hips into breaks.
  • Good spatial awareness.
  • Good top-end speed.
Weaknesses
  • Limited arm length to consistently catch outside his frame, though he attacks the ball at its peak.
  • Quicker than fast.
  • Willing boundary blocker but lacks the play strength to be more than a nuisance.
