Zay Flowers is in the NFL Top 100 and the best is yet to come ‼️ https://t.co/IxV7pC8AzK

What happened: The official team account recently celebrated Zay Flowers being ranked No. 71 on the NFL Top 100 list while declaring his best football is still ahead. Peers across the league voted the dynamic playmaker into the prestigious countdown following a standout sophomore year. Heading into training camp for the upcoming 2026 season, expectations are massive for him to assume an even larger workload in the passing attack.

Why it matters: His precision route running and rare ability to create separation after the catch make him one of the most difficult Ranking 70 players ahead of him ignores how central his explosiveness is to dictating defensive coverages every single week. If his current trajectory continues, he should easily crack the top 30 when next year is evaluated.
