The Baltimore Ravens have had some problems selecting wide receivers in the first round of the NFL draft. They took another swing at it when adding wideout Zay Flowers to their roster with the No. 22 overall pick in 2023, and so far it has paid off for them in a big way.
Flowers has burst onto the scene as one of the best rookies in the NFL, and has already taken the top wide receiver spot on the team. Wide receivers coach Greg Lewis praised the work ethic of Flowers, saying that the former Boston College star is someone who wants to be great.
“Yes, it has been there from the beginning. The kid [Zay Flowers] is a guy that wants to be great, wants to soak up all the information as much as possible. He talks to [assistant wide receivers] Coach ‘Dub’ [Keith Williams] and I daily about things that he can work on to get himself better. He’s getting out [to practice] early to get stretched out making sure he’s ready to go. He’s just a young guy, [and] to see him do those type of things is pretty impressive on his end as professional as he is as early [as he is] in his career.”
