The Baltimore Ravens have a rich tradition and history in the NFL, but the wide receiver position has lacked star power and elite production. However, it ended with the selection of Zay Flowers in 2023.
The former Boston College pass catcher was solid as a rookie but took a significant leap in year two, earning his first Pro Bowl nod. This is history for Flowers and the Ravens, as he became the first Ravens wide receiver to earn a Pro Bowl nod in franchise history.

Baltimore has names like Derrick Mason, Torrey Smith, Mark Clayton, Qadry Ismail, Travis Taylor, Anquan Boldin, Steve Smith, Hollywood Brown, Rashod Bateman, and others who never earn a Pro Bowl nod with the Ravens.
Flowers has a team-high 73 receptions and four touchdowns, and his 1,047 receiving yards are the sixth-most in the AFC.
His 1,905 career receiving yards are already 16th in franchise history, and his eyes should look toward teammate Mark Andrews, who’s currently third in franchise history with 5,476 career receiving yards.
