Lamar Jackson and the Kind of Opportunity You Dream About​

Ja'Kobi Lane didn't hesitate when talking about what it means to join an offense led by Lamar Jackson — the excitement was immediate, but so was the understanding of what's expected. On how excited he is to play with QB Lamar Jackson and if his thoughts on being drafted higher motivate him, Lane said:

“I did not necessarily think I would go higher, but just the anticipation of waiting, not knowing when or where the call is going to be from. I think that was where it came from rather than having an attitude and not hearing my name called. But catching passes from Lamar Jackson, if that doesn't put a smile on your face, I don't know what will. Then in that same sense, if he turns on the jets and gets past the line of scrimmage, I'll be sure to get on my man and block downfield. I'm super grateful for this opportunity. I'll make sure to make the most of it wherever that opportunity comes.”
