DL Trey Flowers getting recognition

[Uptown]

Kudos to T. Flowers for coming in humble, head down, ready to work & learn everyday. He’s been nothing but a productive soldier since day one. Talent, coaching, effort, intellect & LONG ASS ARMS can take you a long way lol.

#One game to glory!

NFL offensive linemen are commiserating about the difficulties of blocking Patriots DL Trey Flowers

 

[EMpats]

One of the most underrated players in the game and in my opinion the patriots best defensive player (with hightower out)“. He absolutely never Has a bad game.

He's been one of our best players for over a year now and he's still invisible to the public.

Dante Fowler, #3 overall draft pick in 2015, is a pretty well known name among the majority of NFL fans.

2016-2017 stats (35 games, including playoffs):
... 58 total tackles .. 14 sacks .. 6 PD .. 2 FF .. 3 FR


Trey Flowers, #101 in that same draft, not so well known.

2016-2017 stats (35 games, including playoffs):
... 135 total tackles .. 17 sacks .. 5 PD .. 2 FF .. 2 FR

Plus he seems to have been a good influence on Wise and Butler.

I wouldn't be surprised to see that soldier promoted to captain soon.

 

[LT85]

Should they try to extent him early?

It won't be as fast as McCourty (he was a 2nd year captain...wow) but he does seem to be on the fast track.

YES

He's a FA after next year

Bedard is raving about Flowers right now on Squeaky and the Douche.

I do tune into his segment each week on 98.5, although I realize that admitting this fact might get me...








...shunned.

Wouldn’t surprise me if talks will start to happen after the Super Bowl. Ridiculously underrated in the league, glad to see people are realising he’s a very good talent.

Hopefully wise can follow his footsteps as well.

Shun the Felger listener! Shun!

Flowers is a stud. Since he’s been back from injury he’s basically been playing at an All-Pro level. Once the sacks come along with the QB hits, pressures, etc. he will get national recognition. He’s also just 24 years old.

Couple that with 11 combined sacks this season from Wise/Butler & the pass rush unit’s future looks pretty good.

 

[BobDigital]

He's a good player but it is too much to expect the casual fan to really know about him. If he wants that kind of recognition he needs at least 1 double digit sack year... probably more.

He hasn't finished in the top 30 in sacks the past 2 years. Why should the casual fan know him?

Who here knows a lot about guys like Matthew Judon or Preston Smith? Maybe you did but I certainly didn't.

He's played well but lets not over state it. He hasn't played at an all-pro or even pro bowl level. He has been very good though.

He leads the postseason in pressures (combined sacks, hits & hurries).He’s also dominant against the run. What else is needed? I guess a bigger sample size is fair.

Yep! Baltimore & Washington. Pretty solid players.

Trey Flowers is a technician man! Even if you have him blocked, he eventually out leverages you. The only issue with Flowers is getting himself taken to the ground every now and then.

 

[AtomicDawg]

A beast indeed.

 

[Chris Stevenson]

absolutely

 

[AzorianPats]

Flowers is ridiculously underrated. He does everything well.

What’s maybe most impressive about him is his ability to rush the passer from NT. He’s a beast!
