The 2026 NFL draft is approaching, and USC's Makai Lemon is one of the most anticipated prospects. Lemon has been preparing to be selected early in the first round, with top teams actively seeking him out.
Recently, Lemon visited the Kansas City Chiefs, sparking a buzz among NFL fans. According to NFL network's Ian Rapoport, Lemon's visit occurred on April 3rd. Following this visit, he is scheduled to visit the New York Giants, New York Jets, Miami Dolphins, and the Washington Commanders before the draft.
Lemon's impressive college football record, including 79 receptions for 1156 yards and 11 touchdowns, earned him a Biletnikoff award for the best wide receiver. He also recorded 137 receptions for 2008 yards and 14 touchdowns.
NFL analyst Matt Harmon believes that Lemon is a good fit for teams that run three-receiver sets and lean into spread concepts. Harmon suggests that teams like the New Orleans Saints, who are eighth overall, could be a good match for Lemon.
