Overview
Semi-versatile slot option with legitimate long speed and talent to add yardage with the ball in his hands. Lane can stretch defenses from the slot with his build-up speed and is a viable option in catch-and-run packages near the line of scrimmage. He gives too many clues as a route runner and needs to work on running repeatable, fluid routes as a pro. While he’s tough as a runner, he can’t muster the play strength or ball skills to win the contested-catch game. Lane’s best qualities give him a chance to stick on a roster, but he might need to earn his keep as a return man early on.

Strengths
Build-up speed allows him to gain and maintain vertically.
Puts safeties on their heels with deep speed from the slot.
Capable of opening hips and reaching to make a catch on an off-target pass.
Good run-after-catch option on receiver screens and hitches.
Determined runner who breaks through arm tackles.
Fearless north-south mindset as a punt returner.

Weaknesses
Below-average short-area footwork and suddenness.
Needs to work on salesmanship and efficiency of his routes.
Short, choppy strides hinder separation at the top of the route.
Allows defenders to play through him at the catch point.
Needs better feel for angles and working back to the throw.

Calling it now, aside from contributing @ WR, this guy will be our Day 1 starting Punt Returner this season.

I really wanted a running back. Until I saw the tape of Tyreek Hill 2.0.

This kid is electric. He had basically no QB last year. With a decent QB he's probably more like a 2nd round pick. His speed is electric. Can't wait to see him and Deebo on the field together doing some crazy stuff out of the backfield/gadget stuff. He'll also be our PR right away and I bet you he takes one to the house at some point.

Who would have guessed Jaylin Lane's long lost twin is Bill Burr. Billy Corgan will need to sit down for the ocean talk.
