The Baltimore Ravens drafted wide receiver Zay Flowers with the No. 22 pick in the 2023 NFL draft. He went on to have a phenomenal first season as a professional, breaking multiple rookie records and showing he is on his way to having a long and successful NFL career.
“For me, it was about whatever role that they wanted me to play, I was going to be that. And Zay [Flowers] is forever ‘Little Bro’ to me, and all of these guys in that room can call – I’m one call away any single time, regardless of the outcome today. Just being able to share that moment with him … Like, ‘Bro you’re going to be straight.’ It’s tough. Yes, you may hear something about this, [but] it’s just the way that the world is. That’s how they’re going to be. So, [I told him to] just keep his head, just like everybody else in here. There is no one play that defines a game. There was still a lot of football that was left in the game. But these moments you’ll be able to learn from and become a better man [and] a better player – [from] all of those things.”
Veteran Baltimore wideout Odell Beckham Jr. was asked about Flowers, calling him his “little bro” in the process. He also said that he’s “one call away” for any of the players in the Ravens’ locker room, and mentioned that he gave Flowers advice about the AFC Championship game and some of the rough moments he had in it.
