Steelers Call Prospect Early in Draft, Sparks Controversy

According to The Athletic, the Steelers may have called Lemon before the official pick, a practice some sources say has occurred in the past. The Eagles traded up to take Lemon at No. 22, just ahead of Pittsburgh. An unnamed executive warned that early calls could tie up phone lines and give a team a strategic advantage. Former Eagles executive Jake Rosenberg tweeted that the move breaches draft rules. The NFL said it will review all draft aspects after the event. chickenroad.qpon
