Baltimore drafted Flowers with the No. 22 overall pick in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft after a very accomplished career with Boston College. 

Flowers and other receivers on the team will have to step up and shoulder a larger workload with tight end Mark Andrews now out for the remainder of the regular season after suffering an ankle injury against the Cincinnati Bengals.
