Virginia Tech Star Jaylin Lane in High Demand as NFL Draft Nears, Meeting with Top Teams
With the 2025 NFL Draft just weeks away, former Virginia Tech players are drawing major interest from top NFL franchises. Unlike last year’s relatively quiet draft for Hokies, this season is shaping up to be much different, with multiple Virginia Tech stars expected to hear their names called in Green Bay.
Several former Hokies are making waves in pre-draft evaluations, and one name that continues to stand out is wide receiver Jaylin Lane. A strong performer in pre-draft workouts, Lane has captured the attention of multiple NFL teams, positioning himself as a potential mid-round pick. His explosive playmaking ability, crisp route running, and elite separation skills have made him a sought-after prospect in a competitive wide receiver class.
Lane has been one of the busiest Hokies during the pre-draft process, meeting with multiple teams and securing additional visits as draft day approaches. According to Ryan Fowler of The Draft Network, Lane has already held discussions with the New York Jets, New York Giants, New Orleans Saints, and Buffalo Bills. He’s also scheduled to meet with the coaching staffs of the Philadelphia Eagles, Chicago Bears, Carolina Panthers, and Kansas City Chiefs.
His growing list of suitors includes both Super Bowl contenders and rebuilding franchises, showing that teams across the league recognize his value. The reigning champion Eagles and AFC powerhouse Chiefs could be eyeing Lane as a dynamic addition to their already potent offenses, while teams like the Panthers and Bears may see him as a key piece in their rebuilding efforts.
Lane’s ability to stretch the field, create separation, and deliver in clutch moments makes him an intriguing prospect for teams looking to add a versatile weapon. With his combination of speed, reliable hands, and route-running precision, he has all the tools to make an immediate impact at the next level.
As the draft draws closer, Lane’s stock continues to rise, and his pre-draft meetings suggest that he won’t be waiting long to hear his name called. The only question remaining is which team will secure his talents and give him the opportunity to showcase his skills on Sundays.
