The NFL released the full rosters for the Pro Bowl Games on Jan. 2, which featured Flowers as one of the four AFC wide receivers. He joined Nico Collins from the Texans, Jerry Jeudy from the Browns, and Ja'Marr Chase from the Bengals.
The Ravens have had wide receivers in the Pro Bowl in years past. They just didn't make it in that position. Jermaine Lewis (1998, 2001), Jacoby Jones (2012), and Devin Duvernay (2021-22) all earned their spots in the Pro Bowl as kick returners.
Additionally, Anquan Boldin (Cardinals), Steve Smith Sr.( Panthers), and Derrick Mason (Titans) all made the Pro Bowl as wide receivers for different teams before joining the Ravens.
Flowers earned his trip to the Pro Bowl Games with a career-best season. He caught 73 passes for 1,047 yards, and four touchdowns. He still has one more game to add to this total as the Ravens face off with the rival Browns to close out the regular season.
This Pro Bowl Games campaign followed up a rookie season in which Flowers served as a key weapon in the passing attack. He caught 77 passes for 858 yards and five touchdowns while working alongside Rashod Bateman, Odell Beckham Jr., and Nelson Agholor. The Ravens went 13-4 and reached the AFC title game where they fell to the Chiefs.
Some talented receivers have walked through the doors of the Ravens' facility, but they have often been behind tight ends in the pecking order.
For example, Mason is the franchise's all-time leader in career receiving yards with 5,777. Tight end Todd Heap is second with 5,492 yards. Tight end Mark Andrews is third with 5,476 yards. Torrey Smith (3,591 yards) and Mark Clayton (3,116 yards) round out the top five.
Andrews holds the franchise record for the best single-season receiving marks. He caught 107 passes for 1,361 yards and nine touchdowns in 2021.
