Steelers Preemptively Contacted Draft Prospect

The Steelers reached out to receiver Makai Lemon before their draft slot, a move that raised eyebrows after the Eagles traded up to pick him at No. 21. Sources say the Steelers have done this before, allegedly to block other teams by tying up phone lines.

Both the Eagles and the NFL have criticized the tactic, with the league noting it reviews draft conduct after each draft. ipl-today.in
