Eagles' offense can benefit from making Makai Lemon the priortity

The Philadelphia Eagles have gone through their ups and downs, dealing with offensive coordinators and figuring out the right way to attack opposing defenses. This year, they are bringing in a first-time offensive coordinator, Sean Mannion. The Eagles drafted USC Trojan Makai Lemon , who is at his best when he is utilized as he should be.

Sean Mannion has quite a task ahead of him heading into his first season. In a recent article , Glenn Erby highlights the importance of Makai Lemon's role in the Eagles' offense. Here is what he had to say: "Another executive even suggested Lemon might have been a perfect fit for the Los Angeles Rams before head coach Sean McVay shifted away from a three-receiver base offense in favor of heavier tight-end usage.

Now in Philadelphia, Lemon enters a different type of system alongside second-round tight end Eli Stowers, forming part of a young pass-catching group that will work with franchise quarterback Jalen Hurts. How quickly that chemistry develops remains one of the biggest questions heading into the season, especially with first-year offensive coordinator Sean Mannion taking over play-calling duties. While Lemon's skill set suggests he can thrive in a variety of roles, his ultimate impact will depend on how the Eagles structure their offense and utilize his strengths.

Still, the early reviews are clear: Lemon arrives in Philadelphia as a refined, NFL-ready receiver with the tools to contribute right away—if the system around him maximizes what he does best. " The Eagles made the move to trade up for Makai Lemon because he is a special weapon; they did not do that for him to be just blocking and catching 2 poassews a game. He is a weapon that needs to be heavily involved, and while Sean Mannion is in his first year, it makes that a priority; the Eagles offense will be one of the most explosive offenses in the NFL.
