Overview
- Lane recorded three receptions for 38 yards and a 15–16‑yard touchdown in his NFL debut during the Ravens’ preseason win over the Eagles on Saturday night.
- Quarterback Lamar Jackson praised Lane’s aggressiveness and hands during a sideline interview and head coach Jesse Minter complimented the rookie’s demeanor and work ethic after the game.
- Baltimore drafted the 6-foot-4 receiver in the third round (No. 80 overall) after a final USC season of 49 catches for 745 yards and four touchdowns.
- Lane’s preseason impact strengthens his case for the WR3 or three‑receiver packages but the job is not secure because teammates such as Devontez Walker, LaJohntay Wester and Elijah Sarratt are also competing.
- The key next step is sustained performance in full‑contact preseason work and the regular season because analysts note one preseason game is a small sample that must translate to consistency against NFL defenses.
