Ja'Kobi Lane celebrates scoring a USC touchdown against Notre Dame on November 30, 2024.

The Baltimore Ravens might have a problem on their hands with rookie wide receiver and 2026 3rd round pick Ja’Kobi Lane.

A bizarre video surfaced of Lane doing what appears to be a live chat during his time at USC in which he repeats a question from one of the people in the chat.

“Am I scared of getting CTE?” Lane repeats. “I have CTE.”

It’s not the only weird thing in the video, where Lane also repeatedly films himself picking his nose.

“Heartbreaking: New Ravens rookie WR Ja’Kobi Lane reveals that he already has CTE at just 21 years old,” NFL influencer Dov Kleiman wrote on his official X account, along with a posting of the video in question.

Ravens Drafted 1st Round Talent in 3rd Round

In Lane, the Ravens may have added a player with 1st round talent in the 3rd round.

“There’s a lot to work with having Ja’Kobi Lane,” ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. said after the pick went in.

There were wildly different projections on Lane’s NFL prospects after the 6-foot-4, 200-pound Arizona native had one of the wildest stat lines you’ll see in 2024 with 43 receptions for 525 yards … and 12 touchdowns. He followed that up in 2025 with another line that will throw you off — 49 receptions for 745 yards and 4 touchdowns.

“Ja’Kobi Lane is a prototypical X-receiver with outstanding ball skills to dominate the catch point, similar to Dallas Cowboys receiver George Pickens,” Bleacher Report’s Damian Parson wrote in his pre-draft evaluation. “Lane is equipped with the frame and wingspan to thrive as a high-point specialist in the NFL. Lane is a former 4-star recruit in the 2023 class. He is coming off his best season of college football in 2025. Lane has never eclipsed 800 yards receiving in a single season.”
