Flowers shares a strong bond with Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson. Their South Florida roots run deep, with Jackson recalling Flowers from their youth football days. The two, along with fellow South Florida native Tyler Huntley, often spend time together, reinforcing their shared background and camaraderie.
