Makai Lemon #USC #NFLDraft Jump Up and Through - Well-Timed - Leaps Straight Up - No leaning backward - Late hands/high point - Takes contact SO many WRs who are bigger give up their height by leaning back from leaping late. George Pickens was a serial offender...

Makai Lemon #USC #NFLDraft Beautiful route once again... A) Dives the stem vs outside shade DB B) Flattens to vertical stem C) Ends the stair-step by widening and taking back of DB D) Accelerates past DB on break E) Extension over shoulder vs. contact. Storytelling!

So many of Makai Lemon's catches are targets that "good" prospects don't make with consistent and sound technique like Lemon demonstrates. Rarely leaves his feet when unnecessary -- a great sign he tracks the target accurately. Great boundary work here. #USC #NFLDraft

The band Journey sure had a lot of stories that began with them going down some dusty road.

Makai Lemon #USC #NFLDraft - Stair-steps this Post beautifully - (a) Stems inside and at DB - (b) Widens mid-stem/peeks to fade - (c) Takes back of DB on break - High points into safety chopping legs mid-air and still embraces fall so not landing the ball. Goods

Really like Lemon. Not a Pickens-like swan. More an Amon-Ra/Ladd style option who might need an ideal fit to elicit the elite No. 1 production potential. At worst, a fantastic secondary option. Mitts, tracking, & physical approach to ball are so strong. Sees the game well.

Makai Lemon #USC #NFLDraft Can the prospect make big plays in big moments of a game? Here are two clutch moments on the final drive against Illinois.

Makai Lemon #USC #NFLDraft - Double up & wipe counter - Doesn't faze DB w/release but enough position to high point & pull-down. - Good job rolling through not to land on the ball. Lemon's hands are reliable. Like watching late-career Derrick Mason in that dept.

Makai Lemon sandwiched... no problem. His attack and ability to keep his feet on the ground unless necessary to leave them are big plusses for his game. Physical receiver, too. I'm a fan of that. #USC #NFLDraft

Makai Lemon #USC #NFLDraft Love the effort as a blocker. He's essentially a decoy on a screen opposite of the run but continues working downfield and if Jordan broke this run a little longer, Lemon has a one-arm shield of the DB. Great job working across the field.

Makai Lemon #USC #NFLDraft This is a subtle stairstep on the deep over. Just enough of a vertical segment after the initial dive and a slight peek to the fade to punctuate it and freeze the DB before running by...

Makai Lemon #USC #NFLDraft It's easy to see this incompletion as an errant pass. BUT the zone defender drops from the right side toward the line and retreats back up the hash. The QB notes this and his placement is to avoid leading Lemon into the defender.

A lot to like on this Makai Lemon TD - Three step break - More weight drop would be ideal - Works back to ball - Tight transition - Balanced stance/footwork turns through wrap - Nice little stutter and head fake - Open-field vision to press/ cutback - Stiff arm #USC #NFLDraft

#DaBears scheme up a 3rd and 13 play for Colston Loveland on a delayed release with WRs running off the defense in the left flat. Loveland gains 19 after the catch, splitting defenders during the run. Shades of scheming Tucker Kraft - Tyler Warren into space.

Caleb Williams #DaBears D.J. Moore dropped pass in 4th QTR with 6-point lead. Should have caught it. Also, Caleb Williams should have placed this so Moore doesn't have to turn against break path.
