Pros

  • Highly explosive athlete with tremendous speed.

  • Fluid route-runner that knows how to use his elite quickness and agility to his advantage.
 
  • Understands how to setup his opposing cornerback for failure at the beginning of his routes. 

  • Recognizes holes in zone coverage and can sit down and exploit them routinely. 
 
  • Deadly crossing over the middle of the field with his stop-start quickness that allows him to take catch and immediately run through defenses.
 
  • He's electric in the open field and can make multiple defenders miss after the catch with relative ease.
 
  • Was a very versatile weapon for Boston College that was highly productive in any role he was asked to play. 
 
  • Was effective at all three levels of the field and has shown good production and capabilities as an outside receiver threat. 
 
  • Played in a prostyle offense in college and took full advantage of the opportunities given to him, which were fewer than most receivers in the draft.
​
  • High football IQ at the position.
 
  • Tough and rugged receiver for his size and doesn't go down easy if he can help.

Cons

  • Size concerns are very evident when projecting role in the NFL.

  • Drops have been an issue for him in college.
 
  • His longevity is concerning for his willingness to tackle punishment at his size.
 
  • Despite success at contested catches, it's unlikely to replicate in the NFL given the size of NFL corners. 
 
  • Limited catch radius.
​
  • Lacks play strength to break tackles or be an effective blocker.

  • Will struggle against press coverage in his career.
​
  • May strictly be slot receiver in the NFL.

Overview

Zay Flowers is an electric receiver that can take short passes to the house or beat opposing defender routinely through sheer grit and will to come down with the football and make a play. He's been on teams draft radar for the past two seasons and his 2022 season was his best. He's not as big or strong as you would like an outside receiver to be in the NFL draft but you deny that he has a chance to be a good outside receiver in the NFL given his over-achiever mentality on the field. Could he hit the weight room heavily in the offseason once he's drafted to build and max out his frame? Yes as NFL defenders aren't so easily out maneuvered but he has the right mental make up and playmaking ability to be a good receiver in the NFL.
