Lemon shows advanced coverage recognition and quick decision-making for a rookie

The source highlights Lemon's understanding of coverage nuances and pre-snap reads; he quickly recognized a Cover 2 shell that rotated into Cover 1 man after a RAT blitz from Caleb Downs, got his head back to the QB for a quick completion on third down, and executed at a high level for a young player despite not converting the first down.
