Overview
- Training-camp comments on Friday show Flowers has embraced a larger, vocal leadership role and is practicing extra with Lamar Jackson to build chemistry.
- The Ravens moved to an offense run by Declan Doyle, shifted practice times and shortened workouts to speed installation with the explicit goal of featuring Flowers more often.
- Statistical context highlights a gap the team wants to fix: Flowers logged high outside-the-20 production but had only 11 red-zone targets and one red-zone touchdown last season.
- Flowers said he is focused on preparing and left contract-extension talks to his agents, a dynamic made more urgent by the team picking up his fifth-year option and recent high-dollar receiver deals around the league.
- Coaches project he could see more red-zone work this season but stressed that touchdown totals will depend on game plans, other targets and how the new scheme performs in live games.
