The Baltimore Ravens have added plenty to their wide receiver room over the course of the past few weeks. They signed veteran Odell Beckham Jr. to a one-year deal, while also adding Boston College wide receiver Zay Flowers with the 22nd overall selection in the 2023 NFL draft.
When asked about his connection with Beckham during his introductory press conference, Flowers revealed a team that the veteran could have gone to in free agency had he not chosen Baltimore. He said that Beckham said he was either thinking of going to the Ravens or the New York Giants, which sheds a bit of light on the star’s free agent situation.
“We have the same trainer back in Florida; my receiver coach trains him, too. He’s watched some of my videos, and he was like, ‘We have to get together and work out.’ I think a couple of weeks ago, I called him and I was like, ‘Where are you thinking about going?’ He was like, ‘Either the Ravens or the Giants,’ I think. I was like, ‘That’s crazy because both of those teams, I’m predicted to go to.’ Then, we land on the same team. So, I can just use him to learn because it’s going to be my first year; I can learn everything from him and just play with him. It’ll be fun.”
