Ravens HC Jesse Minter Raves About Rookie WR Ja'Kobi Lane Amid Impressive Camp
Zay Flowers just got paid, but it's Ravens rookie Ja'Kobi Lane stealing headlines at camp with a spectacular one-handed catch.
The Baltimore Ravens have signed star wide receiver Zay Flowers to a lucrative four-year, $140 million contract, making him one of the highest-paid wideouts in the NFL. However, the team's focus during training camp has been on another young player, third-round rookie Ja'Kobi Lane. During team drills on Tuesday, Lane showcased his skills with a spectacular one-handed, sideline catch, snagging Lamar Jackson's 20-yard pass while falling backward.
Ravens head coach Jesse Minter praised the rookie's performance, highlighting his consistency and ability to make big plays. Lane, a 6-foot-4, 200-pound wideout from USC, had a strong college career with 525 yards and 12 touchdowns in 2024, and 745 yards and four touchdowns in 2023, earning third-team All-Big Ten honors. Despite being a late pick in the third round, Lane has proven himself in camp, and if he continues his impressive form, he could be a valuable asset as Baltimore's No. 2 receiver behind Flowers.
