Zay Flowers. Winslow Townson-USA TODAY Sports

WR emerging as favorite for Ravens in 2023 NFL Draft

It's not news to anyone that the Ravens are in need of a receiver this offseason and NFL Network's Daniel Jeremiah has the perfect player for Baltimore.

"Zay Flowers is an overall player I love," Jeremiah said. "The suddenness there I think would be a fun player to match up in that offense."

The Boston College product is one of the best route runners in this year's draft class, posting 78 catches for 1,077 yards and 12 touchdowns in 2022. 

Flowers currently ranks as Pro Football Focus' No. 22 prospect saying, "If you want to add dynamism to your offense, then Flowers is your guy."

The stars may be aligning as the Ravens hold the No. 22 pick in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft.

The only concerns about Flowers are surrounding his size, standing at 5-foot-9. However, the 22-year-old has been putting in work to get bigger this offseason and has already gained 13 pounds of muscle.

Baltimore was the third-worst team in the league in receiving yards and didn't even have a receiver eclipse 500 yards in 2022. 

There have been many undersized players that have had success in the NFL. Flowers may be the next example and could help take the Ravens' offense to another level.
