NFL.com: “Lemon is one of my favorite players in this draft. He is a wideout with a running back’s body and a linebacker’s temperament. He is at his best working in the slot. He wins with quickness off the line, understands how to tempo routes and consistently wins in traffic. He doesn’t waste steps and he can explode in and out of the break point. He plays bigger than his size, displaying several 50/50-ball wins on elevated throws. To see his entire repertoire, just throw on the Iowa tape. He was a craftsman in that game and couldn’t be covered (10 catches for 153 yards and a touchdown). He is ultra-competitive after the catch, breaking tackles and fighting for yards. Overall, Lemon is going to draw a lot of comparisons to Amon-Ra St. Brown, and they are warranted.”
The Athletic: “Given the USC connection, the Amon-Ra St. Brown comparisons feel too on the nose — but they also fit like a glove. Lemon lacks top-tier physical traits, but there are multiple throws on each USC tape when the quarterback makes a ‘my guy is better than your guy’ decision and puts the ball in a spot for Lemon to go get it. More times than not, he proves the QB right.”
ESPN: “Lemon’s scouting report won’t contain platitudes about size, length or great track speed. Instead, he stands out due to his production (79 catches for 1,156 yards and 11 touchdowns last season), polish in the slot and ability to create space and accumulate targets across the middle. He is agile and tough, knows how to vary his routes and wins with tempo over pure speed — very similar to former Trojan Amon-Ra St. Brown. Some teams will see him as a scheme-specific fit, but St. Brown and Jaxon Smith-Njigba give Lemon a template for NFL success.”

Jordyn Tyson – Arizona State
Measurables: 6-foot-2, 203 pounds
Snapshot: Tyson led the Sun Devils with 61 catches for 711 yards and eight touchdowns in 2025, doing so in just nine starts.
Daniel Jeremiah Top 50 3.0 (NFL.com – March 5): No. 21 overall (No. 4 WR)
Dane Brugler Top 100 (The Athletic – Feb. 11): No. 12 overall (No. 2 WR)
Matt Miller Top 50 (ESPN – March 5): No. 15 overall (No. 3 WR)
Pro Football Focus: No. 19 overall (No. 3 WR)
NFL.com: “Tyson is an explosive receiver with a lot of “wow” plays littered throughout his tape. He is a very fluid mover, and he incorporates a variety of releases and general creativity into his route-running. He has suddenness off the line and out of breaks down the field. He will weave and get cornerbacks off balance before exploding away from them. He makes some incredible catches on deep balls; he tracks the ball with ease over the shoulder and can almost hover in the air waiting for it to come down. After the catch, he has some wiggle to make defenders miss and excellent speed to pull away. Durability was an issue throughout his college career — that’s the only factor keeping him from a higher grade/projection.”
The Athletic: “Tyson won’t be a combine darling with his size and speed, but he is plenty fast enough. He uses quickness to avoid press and route acceleration to stress coverage. He also creates his own separation and is competitive in a crowd, contorting his body to make ‘wow’ catches. His injury history is something teams must reconcile, but Tyson will make an impact if he is on the field.”
ESPN: “Tyson is an X receiver prospect with size, speed and route-running savviness that scouts love. He can take the top off a defense with his vertical-stretch speed but is also adept at adjusting mid-sprint to the ball in flight. Despite missing four games and part of another because of a hamstring injury, Tyson had 61 catches for 711 yards and eight touchdowns last season after posting 75 catches, 1,101 yards and 10 TDs in 2024. He also reduced his drops, with only one on 100 targets after dropping eight passes the previous season.”
