There's a lot of things that Makai did in that game that don't reflect on the stat sheet. We constantly talk about that: What are you doing to help this team win the game, particularly if you're a skill guy? That might not be able to be seen from the stat book or to the naked eye.

Sirianni defends Lemon's effort, but Eagles need stat-sheet production from first-rounder.

Eagles coach Nick Sirianni defended Lemon's Week 1 performance, saying his game was better than the box score indicated; Sirianni credited Lemon with blocking and being in the right spots, noting that 'there's a lot of things that Makai did in that game that don't reflect on the stat sheet.' However, the source concludes that 'at some point, though, the Eagles need their first-round receiver to make some plays that do show up on the stat sheet,' indicating that despite coaching support, Lemon must translate effort into production to justify his draft capital.
