Relationship with coaching staff + their plan for Flowers 

“My relationship with the staff is amazing,” Flower said. “They’ve been hammering down on me. Coach Lanning sees me as a dude to come there and make a difference. Coach Hampton really sees me making a difference early on and trying to develop me into a NFL talent.”

Aaron Flowers Scouting Summary

“Versatile defensive back who lines up at both corner and safety but projects at the latter long-term,” On3’s Director of Scouting and Rankings Charles Power wrote. “Measured at around 6-feet, 180 pounds in the spring prior to his junior season. Has plus length for the position with a 6-foot-4 wing-span. Has high-end agility, consistently posting shuttle times under 4.2 seconds. Displays good range in coverage when working as a two high safety. Has the ability to line up in man coverage on the outside or in the slot. Plays with a physical presence as a tackler and run defender, driving through ball carriers. Quicker than fast and can continue to improve his fluidity and lower body flexibility.
