Les Snead Scouts USC’s Makai Lemon at Pro Day as Teams Reassess Top WR Prospect

NFL evaluators said his combine podium demeanor is not disqualifying.

Overview

  • About 50 scouts representing all 32 teams attended USC’s Pro Day, where Lemon headlined the workout.
  • USC reported Lemon ran a 4.46-second 40-yard dash and he showcased crisp route-running, though he skipped the jumps, shuttle and three-cone drills.
  • Rams general manager Les Snead was on hand and noted combine personas can differ from how players carry themselves throughout the year.
  • Lemon, the reigning Biletnikoff Award winner, posted 79 receptions for 1,156 yards and 11 touchdowns last season, drawing high-volume projections from NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah.
  • Media coverage has speculated the Rams could look at a receiver such as Lemon with the No. 13 pick, but any draft intentions are unconfirmed.
