An unexpected wide receiver prospect is making a strong case for being the top wideout in the 2023 draft class.
Boston College's Zay Flowers is making waves as a potential top wide receiver pick in the upcoming NFL Draft. According to reports, Flowers has declared himself as the best WR prospect in this year's draft class. Multiple general managers and executives who have spoken with Flowers at the NFL Scouting Combine have quoted his claim, and he has also expressed confidence in his ability to play any position on the field.
Flowers, who has been compared to NFL greats Antonio Brown and Steve Smith Sr., is determined to make a name for himself in the league. He has worked out with Brown and Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith and credits his background in basketball for his exceptional receiving skills. Flowers believes that his experience on the court has contributed to his ability to get open and his agility on the field.
Despite being listed at 5ft 9in, Flowers is a physical specimen who can also contribute as a blocker in the running game. He attributes his blocking ability to his coach's emphasis on the importance of blocking to earn the ball.
While Flowers' declaration may raise eyebrows, his confidence and ability to back up his claim could make him an enticing prospect for teams looking for a dynamic playmaker in the draft. Only time will tell if Flowers' prediction will come true, but he certainly seems poised to make an impact in the NFL.
