Steelers Called Prospect Early in 2026 Draft

Published May 1, 2026 · Updated May 1, 2026 · NBC Sports

During the 2026 NFL Draft, the Steelers reportedly phoned USC receiver Makai Lemon before their turn, prompting the Eagles to trade up and pick him at 21.

Sources say the Steelers called Lemon ahead of the clock to block other teams from contacting him, a tactic the Eagles countered by trading up to select him at 21. Former Eagles executive Jake Rosenberg called the move a rule violation. The NFL will review the draft after the week ends. realschule-moosburg.de
