Ravens' WR Flowers' Impact and Pro Bowl Milestone

As the 22nd overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, Zay Flowers has quickly established himself as the Baltimore Ravens' number-one wide receiver. His impressive rookie season has been capped off with a historic milestone, as he becomes the first wide receiver in Ravens franchise history to be elected to the Pro Bowl.

In the event that Flowers is unable to play on Saturday, the Ravens will rely heavily on wide receiver Rashod Bateman and tight ends Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely to pick up the slack. Flowers has been a key contributor to the Ravens' offense, particularly against the Pittsburgh Steelers, against whom he has recorded 139 yards and one touchdown on just seven receptions in their two matchups this season.

In a recent social media post, Flowers revealed a new look, having cut off his dreadlocks in time for the playoffs. As he works to return from injury, Flowers' teammates will look to step up and fill the void in his absence.
