The Pittsburgh Steelers reportedly contacted USC receiver Makai Lemon before their draft slot, leading the Philadelphia Eagles to trade up and pick him at No. 21.

Reports say the Steelers called Lemon’s agent before their turn, a tactic some believe has been used before. The Eagles, moving up one spot, selected him at No. 21, sparking criticism from former Eagles executive Jake Rosenberg who called the move a rule violation. argolida.life
