Zay Flowers has been the receiver the Ravens long craved: ‘This kid just has it’
New York TimesUpdate: The Chiefs beat the Ravens 17-10 to earn a trip to the Super Bowl In his first career NFL regular-season game and on his second ever reception, Zay Flowers caught the ball from Lamar Jackson in the left flat, several yards short of the first-down marker. “He has things that you just can’t teach,” said former Ravens wide receiver Torrey Smith. I was like, ‘Man, we need to go get him,’ and he just did the rest.” Flowers had been on the Ravens’ radar long before Jackson made the sales pitch. I don’t feel any of that.” Flowers said he welcomed getting drafted by Baltimore because he knew the Ravens believed in him. “The way he gets out of his breaks, you can’t teach it,” said Smith, who helps host a weekly fan show with Flowers and has gotten to know him well.
