Makai Lemon fits the modern NFL slot receiver meta perfectly but has the talent to play outside as well
He'll be a great complement to Devonta Smith and *checks notes* AJ Brown, who is still an Eagle
The Eagles land Makai Lemon, who fits so cleanly into the archetype of some of the most productive WRs in the NFL today and proves that they plan on changing their offensive identity.
To get this type of recognition with yet another award for our show, especially with how crowded the field were with elite nominations this year, really does feel so good because of the incredible producers and hosts Iโve worked with over the years at Yahoo and no doubt the group we have now. So much work goes into the Yahoo Fantasy Forecast on and off mic and all of those folks deserve the spotlight.
Iโm very thankful that you guys have supported us and it led to such an incredible year.
To be fully transparent, I've never really been all that into industry awards. However, I am feeling extremely grateful this year, in particular, to see both The Yahoo Fantasy Forecast and Fantasy Football Live get recognized. This was a massive, massive season of change on a number of levels and especially on the podcast. Plus, I could just go on and on about the crew of producers I worked with on both shows this season.
So for those reasons, I'm genuinely very thankful that everyone's work was acknowledged this year and couldn't be more appreciative of the podcast audience that, by every metric possible, made this the best season in the show's history. I am so lucky to get to do this job, and even more ridiculously fortunate to do it with great people in front of and behind the camera.
Let's run it all back in 2026 and crush it once again.
It was an amazing Super Bowl week and I couldnโt be more thrilled with how all the content turned out. Everyone in front of and behind the camera at Yahoo Sports deserves a huge shout of gratitude.
But I wanted to send a specific shoutout to my boys producing the Yahoo Fantasy Forecast this past and week all season:
@Jonathan_Bassey@producerCollin@jasonmjung
These guys crushed it and worked their ass off all week on the pods and all the interviews I did. Weโve already put so much good stuff out and we have plenty more coming. It was the perfect ending to one of the best and without question one of the most fun seasons Iโve ever had in my career working with these three on the show.
Hereโs to another massive one in 2026 and a happy Super Bowl Sunday ๐ป
Talked with CeeDee Lamb today about why he thinks people get it confused and getting open from the slot is actually much more difficult than the outside as a receiver.
Philadelphia,
Iโve decided my time coaching with the Eagles has come to an end.
When I arrived here in 2013, I did not know what I was signing up for. I quickly learned what this city demands. But more importantly, what it gives back.
The past 13 years have been the great privilege of my coaching career. I didnโt just work here, I became one of you.
