Zay Flowers Narrowly Misses Top 25 Under 25
Last week, Pro Football Focus released its list of top 25 players under 25 years old. While safety Kyle Hamilton made the list at No. 3, Pro Bowl wide receiver Zay Flowers missed the cut.
PFF’s Zoltán Buday decided to share who narrowly missed the cut on account of "so much emerging talent across the league." Flowers was third on the list.
"Flowers impressed as a rookie, finishing as the 30th highest-graded wide receiver, but he took a clear step forward in 2024," Buday wrote. "He finished 16th at the position with an 82.1 overall PFF grade and averaged 2.19 receiving yards per route run, tied for 17th among 125 qualifying wideouts last season. The Boston College product's value to the Ravens became even more apparent in the postseason, as Baltimore's offense felt his absence after he missed both playoff games with a knee injury suffered in the final week of the regular season."
On the field, Flowers has flourished. He's done the same in the franchise record books, too, becoming the first wideout drafted by Baltimore to be named a Pro Bowler. He also was the fastest player in franchise history to 100 career receptions (21 games) and the first in franchise history to have a 1,000-yard season in the first two years of his career.
