Everyone should have expected Lemon to start slow after a lost offseason with hamstring injuries. You can pencil in any rookie who misses huge chunks of camp time for a delayed lift-off.

Lemon's slow start due to hamstring injuries; confidence improving with reps

Lemon's full-season production looks poor (0.86 yards per route run despite running routes on 87% of Eagles dropbacks), but Matt Harmon attributes this to a lost offseason with hamstring injuries. Harmon notes that any rookie who misses huge chunks of camp time should be penciled in for delayed lift-off. Lemon has started to look better and is playing with more confidence on tape the last couple of weeks, coinciding with more opportunities as other Eagles wideouts miss time. Harmon sees a clear runway for Lemon to be a productive option, though the Eagles offense is not as well set up as typical Philadelphia offenses.
