Steelers Call Prospect Early, Eagles Trade Up

Published May 1, 2026 · Updated May 1, 2026 · Yahoo Sport

During the 2026 draft, Pittsburgh Steelers called receiver Makai Lemon before their turn, leading the Eagles to trade up to select him at No.21.

Steelers reportedly contacted Lemon before the Steelers’ pick, prompting the Eagles to trade up to No.21 to secure him. Sources say the move may not be unprecedented; some believe the Steelers have done it before. Former Eagles executive Jake Rosenberg tweeted the day after the draft that the practice violates league rules, though the NFL said it reviews all draft aspects the week after the event. beltedkingfisher.blog
