One of the hardest things for rookies entering the NFL is adjusting to everything the league brings, not just what takes place on the field. Sometimes those factors get in the way of a player succeeding. It appears USC Trojan Ja'Kobi Lane is entering Baltimore a step ahead of the game.

Ravens Wire's Geoffrey A. Knox puts on full display that Lane's transition to the NFL will be different than any other rookie in a recent article. Here is what he had to say about Lane's potential smooth transition to the NFL:

"There's also comfort built into this transition. Ravens assistant wide receivers coach Prentice Gill already has a history with the youngster. Lane played ball at USC, where Gill formerly served as an assistant.

More familiarity. And that could help accelerate Lane's development and ease his adjustment to the next level. If that wasn't enough, Lane admitted Baltimore stood out during the predraft process. He notes that he enjoyed his visit with the Ravens more than any other team. That enthusiasm, paired with his existing relationships, suggests this landing spot is one he genuinely wanted.

All of it adds up to something worth watching. The traits are there. The connections are real, and the fit feels intentional. If everything comes together, the Ravens may have found more than just another receiver. They may have found someone who already understands what it means to wear the uniform."

The Ravens first and foremost wanted Ja'Kobi Lane, and he wanted to end up with the Ravens. His skillset will elevate the offense, but already having these relationships will expedite his development process and help him be very impactful from day 1.
