The 2025 NFL Draft is upon us, and so is your need to be prepared for all of tomorrow’s stars. Dive into our spotlight on Jaylin Lane, featuring his scouting report, strengths and weaknesses, his recent draft projection, and where all the experts predict he could land.
Jaylin Lane’s NFL Draft Scouting Report
Jaylin Lane is an undersized receiver who has produced mediocre numbers at the highest level of his college career. He lined up out wide at Middle Tennessee State but has since transitioned to a full-time slot receiver at Virginia Tech.
Lane is a quick twitch athlete who does a good job of creating separation off the line but is a well below-average ball winner who struggles to compete effectively in tight windows — he had contested catch rates of 20.0% and 16.7% in his two seasons at Virginia Tech.
He has been a reliable target with a career drop rate under 6% and is a dangerous after-the-catch threat who can make defenders miss and create plays for the offense.
Jaylin Lane’s NFL Draft Projection
In CSN’s 7-Round 2025 NFL Mock Draft from April 12, Lane landed in Round 4 with the 113th overall pick.
And in CSN’s 2025 NFL Mock Draft for Day 3, Oli Hodgkinson threw Lane to the Tennessee Titans with the 178th overall pick and in Round 6.
Lane factored just outside of the top 10 wide receivers for the 2025 NFL Draft but it’s hard to overlook his speed (4.34) and his special teams abilities. He’s a valuable slot add for any team looking for the position on Day 3.
