USC Y receiver McCoy Lemon heads into the 2026 NFL Draft, as one of the top playmakers available. Teens with young quarterback see him as a perfect fit to boost their passing games right away. His skills and open space and reading defenses make him a standout prospect. Analyst Joe Klatt recently updated his mock draft and slotted Lemon to the New Orleans Saints. He praised Lemon's football IQ and ability to work against coverage anywhere on the field. Other projections even linked him to strong offenses like the Los Angeles Rams. The Saints aim to surround the rookie quarterback Tyler Show with more weapons. Show showed flashes of brilliance last season and could take a big step forward. Adding a receiver like Lemon would open up the offense even more. New Orleans already signed running back Travis ETN Jr. in Free Agency. They pair him with Y receiver Chris Olave and tied in Jawan Johnson. This group gives show reliable targets to grow with.
