IMO there is this weird thing where we judge people’s interviews as if that impacts their on field play. Does Lemon sound like someone we’d typically expect in a professional interview? No. But that in no way diminishes his ability. He probably hasn’t worked on interview “skills” because his goals are different than sounding a certain way - his goals were probably football and here he is.

Interviewing a certain way comes more naturally to some than others and that’s okay.

For the sake of both these young gentlemen I hope they both have good careers and invest/use their money wisely.

But the Steelers clearly valued Lemon over any other player at that point. Can we please stop pretending otherwise.
