Baltimore, MD – Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers has etched his name into franchise history, becoming the first wide receiver drafted by the Baltimore Ravens to be named a Pro Bowler. In just his second season, Flowers achieved this milestone with impressive statistics: 73 catches, 1,047 receiving yards, and four touchdowns heading into the final game of the regular season.
This achievement is even more remarkable considering Flowers is also the first player in Ravens history to surpass 1,000 receiving yards within his first two seasons, and the fastest to reach 100 career receptions (in just 21 games). His exceptional performance has earned him widespread praise, including from former Ravens receiver Torrey Smith, who lauded Flowers’ natural ability and the fit within the current offense.
Flowers, selected 22nd overall in the 2023 NFL Draft, displayed an unwavering belief in himself from the start. His strong work ethic, honed from a competitive upbringing in a large family, has fueled his success. He credits his strong bond with quarterback Lamar Jackson, forged during offseason workouts, as crucial to his rapid development.
While celebrating his personal accomplishment, Flowers emphasized that team success remains his priority. He aims to continue improving and contribute to a Ravens Super Bowl run, a goal he believes is within reach. The Ravens organization is thrilled with Flowers’ accomplishments and looks forward to his continued contributions to the team.
