On Thursday, the Philadelphia Eagles selected USC wide receiver Makai Lemon with the No. 20 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Lemon is the eighth Trojans receiver to go in the first two rounds of the draft since 2013.

Naturally, there was a lot of talk on social media about the pick. Here are some of the highlights:

Good morning. I’m not upset with the Steelers pick. Could be awesome. Could suck. Like any rookie. That’s not the point.The point is they’re quite literally on the phone with Lemon and get embarrassed by the Eagles. On OUR cities stage. It was ugly.Omar needs a big day today.
