Zay Flowers Makes Franchise History As Pro Bowl Wide Receiver

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.”
