Ja'Kobi Lane's impressive Ravens debut has already earned the attention of the most important player in Baltimore's offense. Lamar Jackson had high praise for the rookie wide receiver after Lane caught a 15-yard touchdown from Joe ******* nano in the second quarter of Saturday's preseason opener against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Speaking during a sideline interview, Jackson pointed specifically to the traits that have made Lane such a popular player throughout training camp.
"Man, his aggressiveness to go get the ball – he's attacking the ball," Jackson said. "Big hands, tough receiver. That's what we need. We need that. ... It's amazing. The sky is the limit for him."
The comments carry weight because Jackson has spent the summer building chemistry with Lane during training camp. Baltimore's official practice reports have repeatedly highlighted Lane's ability to make difficult catches, including contested grabs against established defensive backs.
That chemistry was on display before Lane's touchdown. The rookie had already recorded a 19-yard reception across the middle, giving him multiple opportunities to demonstrate the physical traits that made him an intriguing third-round selection.
