Lemon struggles early with drops and route issues; observer not confident in rookie impact.

The rookie first-round pick has had a quiet start to camp with no "wow" factor. He didn't look very fast on a vertical target where the ball landed in front of him (unclear if overthrow or route issue). He failed to hold on to a target over the middle where Andrew Mukuba bumped him from behind. He did draw a defensive pass interference or holding penalty during a red zone sequence, though his route didn't look crisp prior to the contact. While he has looked natural fielding punts, the observer is not ready to say they feel good about his chances to contribute significantly as a rookie, noting the Eagles are putting him in a tough spot.
