Steelers Called Prospect Early in 2026 Draft

During the 2026 NFL Draft, the Steelers reportedly called USC receiver Makai Lemon before they were on the clock, prompting the Eagles to trade up and select him at No. 21.

In a move that has drawn criticism, the Steelers called Makai Lemon before their turn in the draft, a tactic some say has been used before. The Eagles traded up to pick Lemon just before the Steelers, raising questions about draft etiquette. NFL officials said the league reviews all aspects of the draft the following week. afnews.co.za
