USC wide receiver Makai Lemon is being compared to Amon-Ra St. Brown and is projected to be drafted by the Los Angeles Rams for Matthew Stafford.

There is a growing belief around the league that one of the most polished wide receivers in the 2026 NFL Draft could be heading to Los Angeles. According to ESPN draft analyst Jordan Reid , the Los Angeles Rams are projected to select Makai Lemon with the No. 13 overall pick.

If that happens, Lemon could quickly become a favorite target for quarterback Matthew Stafford . And for those who have followed his rise, the comparison is already clear. This could be Amon-Ra St.

Brown 2. 0 . Why Makai Lemon fits perfectly in Los Angeles Reid sees Lemon as an ideal addition to a Rams offense that is already loaded with talent.

“The Rams’ roster is pretty stout, but there is a need at receiver alongside Davante Adams and Puka Nacua,” Reid wrote. “Lemon is a reliable and competitive target who would be an ideal fit in Sean McVay’s scheme. He had 79 receptions for 1,156 yards and 11 touchdowns last season, but what was most impressive was his 21 forced missed tackles (14th among FBS receivers).
