Zay Flowers has made plays since joining the Ravens, and now he has made history.
In only his second season, Flowers has become the first Ravens wide receiver to be named a Pro Bowler at the position.
The Ravens have had three wide receivers who made the Pro Bowl as returners – Jermaine Lewis (1998, 2001), Jacoby Jones (2012), and Devin Duvernay (2021, ’22). They’ve had three key wide receivers who have been Pro Bowlers for other teams: Anquan Boldin, Steve Smith Sr., and Derrick Mason.
However, Flowers has broken through as the first wideout drafted by Baltimore to be named a Pro Bowler with 73 catches, 1,047 yards and four touchdowns heading into Saturday’s regular-season finale against the Cleveland Browns.
Flowers is also the first player in Ravens history to record a 1,000-yard receiving season within the first two years of his career and the fastest player in franchise history to reach 100 career receptions (21 games).
Flowers shared an emotional moment with General Manager Eric DeCosta after being told the news.
“From since I was a little kid, that was a dream,” Flowers said, before hugging DeCosta. “We gotta get that ring, now.”
Zay Flowers, the explosive wide receiver for the New England Patriots, has made franchise history by becoming the first player at his position to be selected to the Pro Bowl in his rookie season.
Flowers, who was drafted in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft, has quickly proven himself to be one of the brightest young talents in the league. He has been a key playmaker for the Patriots, leading the team in receiving yards and touchdowns.
His electrifying speed, precise route running, and ability to make acrobatic catches have made him a favorite target for quarterback Mac Jones. Flowers’ impact on the Patriots’ offense has been undeniable, and his selection to the Pro Bowl is a well-deserved recognition of his talent and hard work.
In addition to his on-field success, Flowers has also been a fan favorite, known for his humble demeanor and work ethic. He has quickly endeared himself to Patriots fans, who have embraced him as a star of the future.
As Zay Flowers continues to make his mark on the NFL, his Pro Bowl selection is just the beginning of what promises to be a long and successful career. Patriots fans can look forward to many more exciting moments from this dynamic young receiver.
