Aaron Flowers had a strong case as the most consistent defensive player over the week of practice at the All-American Bowl. His ability in the back half of the secondary stood out in every practice. Flowers showed considerable versatility. He can thrive in man coverage on the outside or in the slot. During 1-on-1s, he showed excellent hip fluidity and ability to mirror in coverage. Flowers was constantly in phase and was making his fair share of plays on the football. During the team periods, he was able to slide to safety and make plays on the ball as a deep half defender. We also saw him come downhill to make plays in the run game. Flowers also appeared to be the most physically-developed safety on hand, at a well-built 6-foot, 200 pounds. While he was relatively quiet during the game itself, his presence was felt throughout the week of practice. Look for Flowers to be a staple in the secondary in Eugene.
