Steelers Pre‑Draft Call Overturned as Eagles Trade Up

During the 2026 NFL Draft, the Steelers reportedly called USC receiver Makai Lemon before their turn, leading the Eagles to trade up and select him at No. 21.

Sources say the Steelers tried to call Lemon before they had the ball, a move the NFL deems improper. The Eagles seized the opportunity, trading up one spot to draft the player. likesport.biz

League officials confirmed they will review the incident after the draft, while former Eagles executive Jake Rosenberg called the practice a rule violation.
