Eagles' Draft Drama: Lemon's Steelers to Philly Switch

0:00On April 24th, one of the wildest viral clips from the NFL draft first round hit the internet fast. Wide receiver lemon was already deep in a call with Pittsburgh Steelers General Manager Omar Khan, popping champagne with his family when the Philadelphia Eagles pulled off a trade-up to Snagum instead. Pure chaos caught on camera as he picks up Philly's line mid celebration. Teams always hustle to connect with their guy right when the clock starts. For the Eagles, it took a couple extra minutes to get lemon on the horn, which burned down the timer more than they wanted. Still, they locked it in and made the selection without a hitch. Fans lost it over the video, replaying lemon's confused face as he wonders why Philly's buzzing in while he's hyped for the Steelers. That raw family joy turning to what the hell vibes had everyone talking draft drama and how these picks play out live. Dicking deeper, Eagles-wide receiver coach Aaron Moorehead didn't even slide into the draft room until halfway through the call. Look like the front office call, all the way, no coach input at the jump.
