From the article

Makai Lemon seems to be ready for camp after being sidelined with a hamstring injury during spring workouts, setting up a pivotal few weeks for the first-round rookie to acclimate to Mannion's system and build a rapport with Jalen Hurts. Of the options at receiver around him, there isn't one that projects as cleanly into the No. 2 role behind Smith as a featured member of the passing game.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

First-round rookie Lemon positioned as Eagles' No. 2 receiver if he hits ground running.

Lemon is a first-round rookie receiver expected to fill the No. 2 receiver role behind DeVonta Smith and potentially be the third-highest target getter behind Smith (113 targets last year) and Dallas Goedert (82 targets). He was sidelined with a hamstring injury during spring workouts but is ready for camp; he's the type of player who should look good in training camp, and the Eagles need him to acclimate to the system and build rapport with Jalen Hurts. Of the receiver options around him, none projects as cleanly into the featured No. 2 role.
