He took Lamar Jackson&#8217;s first pass of training camp for a long touchdown after exploding past Ravens defensive backs.<\/p>\n<p>Flowers reached a top speed of 21.38 mph last season, according to Next Gen Stats. It might be hard to imagine a faster Flowers, but he believes his speed has increased, which will make him harder to defend.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It (the injury) definitely motivated me to get back on the field, push my rehab and therapy,&#8221; Flowers said. &#8220;I feel better than before. I feel like I got faster, I got stronger. I feel better than before I got hurt. A lot of people said I got faster, more explosive.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Flowers&#8217; ability to run routes effectively as both an outside and slot receiver makes him a matchup nightmare for opponents. He&#8217;s hoping to use his versatility to create favorable matchups that lead to more deep ball connections with Jackson.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think we&#8217;re going to hit a lot more,&#8221; Flowers said. &#8220;Way more than we did last year. We&#8217;ve been working on it, too.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The results have shown in training camp, with Flowers separating from defensive backs and making nifty moves after&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":44396,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[19684,19685,19686,257,2593,17263,35298,349,99,14594,35299],"class_list":["post-44395","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-2025-training-camp","tag-2025-training-camp-news","tag-clifton-brown","tag-general","tag-homepage-latest-headlines","tag-inline-news","tag-news-notes","tag-nfl","tag-sports","tag-training-camp","tag-zay-flowers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44395","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=44395"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44395\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/44396"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=44395"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=44395"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=44395"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
