Stud WR Zay Flowers named the one rookie most pivotal to Ravens success
The Ravens have Odell Beckham Jr., Rashad Bateman, and a host of talented pass catchers on the roster, but it’s a dynamic playmaker from Boston College with the most potential.
NFL.com looked at the one rookie whose development is pivotal to their team’s success, and Flowers made a list for Baltimore.
Drafted: Round 1, No. 22 overall
Flowers is an easy selection on a team looking to boost production in the passing game. The Ravens have struggled to find a consistent playmaker at wide receiver since Lamar Jackson took the quarterbacking reins midway through the 2018 season, but Flowers has the confidence and ball skills to flourish as a go-to target in the slot. One thing that could impact Flowers’ production, though: Odell Beckham Jr. potentially becoming a squeaky wheel and looking for more targets than he might deserve.
Flowers had one carry and two routes run against the Eagles but had Philadelphia defenders grasping for air at the line scrimmage during his brief stint.
If the rookie can hit the ground running, Baltimore could ascend to dark-horse status in the loaded AFC.
