Networking after applying for a job

Curious on people's thoughts in this scenario: reaching out to someone on the team that you just applied to and trying to schedule an informational call.
Personally, I wouldn't mind but maybe this could come off as too aggressive? Idk I see it as a way to potentially get a referral/connection and learn about the team with little downside. I feel like it could result in an earlier rejection only if you suck, so really you would've just been rejected later.
thoughts?
