Eagles Draft Lemon, Stowers in 2026

Makai Lemon, the Fred Biletnikoff Award winner and unanimous All-American from USC, brings elite route-running skills and versatility to the Eagles. At 5'11" and 196 pounds, Lemon excels at attacking both man and zone coverages with advanced techniques and physicality. He'll likely start as the slot receiver with A.J. Brown's expected departure, competing for 60-80 targets as a rookie.

Eli Stowers, a 6'4", 239-pound tight end from Vanderbilt, adds athleticism to the Eagles' offense. Stowers ranked among the top 10 tight ends nationally in deep catches, deep yards, and contested catches. His NFL Combine record broad jump (11'3") showcases his exceptional athletic ability that will complement the Eagles' run-heavy approach. esporist.org
