Conference: Atlantic Coast
HT: 6-3
WT: 274
40 Time: 4.85
Biography: Georgia transfer who totaled 34/9.5/3.5 last season. Part-time player for North Carolina State in 2009 and was little used reserve at Georgia prior to that.

Positives: "Adequately sized defensive lineman who flashes ability. Plays with good lean, gets leverage on opponents, and works his hands throughout the action. Quick changing direction and shows the ability to get down the line of scrimmage and make plays laterally. Chases the action and attacks ball carriers."

Negatives: Overall game lacks quickness and explosiveness. Average speed off the edge. Marginal production on the college level.

Analysis: Lemon flashed ability last season yet has seen minimal action the past five years on the college level. He's a developmental prospect who should be given a spot on a practice squad. Recently announced he has no immediate plans to pursue a career in the NFL.

Projection: FA
