The Ravens selected WR Zay Flowers out of Boston College with a first-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. Flowers had a solid rookie campaign in 2023, proving to be the team’s best WR. In 16 games last season, he had 77 catches for 858 yards and five touchdowns. He had eight rushes for 56 yards and one rushing touchdown. Flowers has appeared in all 16 games for the Ravens in 2024 and is having another strong season.
The 24-year-old has 73 catches for 1,047 yards and four touchdowns. Flowers is Lamar Jackson’s clear No. 1 target in 2024. He was ranked 114th by a two-time MVP QB. Rashod Bateman is the next closest player with 64 targets. Zay Flowers made Ravens history by becoming their first Pro Bowl WR. Other players like Anquan Boldin, Steve Smith Sr., and Derrick Mason were Pro Bowlers and played for the Ravens. However, they were not selected to the Pro Bowl as a member of Baltimore’s roster. Zay Flowers is the first WR in team history to earn such an honor.
