An exciting prospect in this year’s NFL draft, Zay Flowers, plays the wide receiver position for Boston College Eagles. Flower’s, born on 11 September 2000 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, attended NSU University School in Florida. Now, in his Senior year at Boston College, Flowers is studying communications as his major.
In high school, Flowers played as a wide receiver as well as a defensive back. The energetic and focused receiver has a lot to rave over. First and foremost, he is extremely quick. He has a great ability to stop and then accelerate rapidly leaving defenders behind. However, at times it seems that he is in too much of a hurry to get ahead.
Dropped catches are a part of his game that need to be worked on. One other concern is with respect to his overall size. At 5 feet 8 and 182 lbs, he is a diminutive figure on the field. It will be interesting to see how he holds his own against the bigger and stronger defenders in the NFL.
