Zay Flowers has entered the NFL Top 100 Players of 2026 at No. 71, becoming the first Baltimore Ravens player revealed this year. The ranking is Flowers’ first appearance on the player-voted list, as reported by the Baltimore Chronicle.
The recognition follows the strongest statistical season of his young career. Flowers recorded 86 receptions for 1,211 yards and five touchdowns across 17 games in 2025.
Zay Flowers delivered another 1,000-yard season
Flowers surpassed 1,000 receiving yards for the second consecutive season. He became only the third Ravens player to reach that mark in back-to-back campaigns.
The wide receiver also earned his second consecutive Pro Bowl selection. His production confirmed his position as Baltimore’s leading homegrown receiving talent.
Since entering the NFL in 2023, Flowers has accumulated 3,128 receiving yards. That total ranked 11th among league players across his first three seasons.
His 2025 numbers underline that progress:
- 86 receptions;
- 1,211 receiving yards;
- five receiving touchdowns;
- 17 games played;
- second consecutive Pro Bowl selection.
Flowers averaged more than 14 yards per reception. He also remained Baltimore’s most consistent downfield option during an uneven 8–9 season.
What the No. 71 ranking means for the Ravens
The NFL Top 100 is determined through voting by current players. Rankings from No. 100 through No. 71 have now been released, with the remaining names scheduled to appear gradually.
| Player | Team | Position | Ranking |
|---|---|---|---|
| Zay Flowers | Baltimore Ravens | Wide receiver | 71 |
| Jalen Ramsey | Pittsburgh Steelers | Defensive back | 82 |
| Carson Schwesinger | Cleveland Browns | Linebacker | 93 |
Flowers is currently the highest-ranked AFC North player announced. He is also the first Raven included in the 2026 countdown.
More Baltimore players could appear as the NFL moves toward its top 70. The Ravens have several established candidates, but Flowers has set the opening benchmark for the team.
