Zay Flowers Is Taking a Leadership Role in Year 2

After a record-setting rookie season, expectations are high for wide receiver Zay Flowers as he enters Year 2. The Ravens will rely heavily on his play in 2024, but his leadership has taken a step forward.

“As a rookie, obviously, you come in and you listen and you learn, and when you’re expected to make plays you try to do that – and Zay did a great job of that, but now it’s about taking the next step and taking the group by the reigns and trying to lead them in the right direction, because he’s been through it,” Wide Receivers Coach Greg Lewis said.

“He’s been there and done that, and then we [are] trying to take it to another level. He’s done a great job with that. We got a lot of leaders in the group, but Zay has stepped up and did a good job with bringing younger guys along.”

While Flowers’ leadership has grown, he’s continued to work on his game as well.

“[Flowers has] pretty much gotten better at everything,” Lewis said. “I think just trying to get him the ball … If he touches the ball, something special is going to happen. So, [we’re] just putting him in [a] position to be successful each and every way possible.”
