Flowers ran consecutive 4.50-second 40s, times that would have placed him first among linebackers in Indy. He also leapt 37 inches (eighth among LBs), and completed the 3-cone drill in 7.09 (11th, .01 behind Kahlil Mack of Buffalo). At Arizona, Flowers had 93 tackles (11 for loss), one interception and two fumble recoveries.
Sounds like he might take on the Barkevious Mingo role
2 guys named flowers on D.... Now I'm worried this D will be a bunch of pansies.... HAHAHAHAHA
Gotta love how people are poo pooing this despite everyone having previously acknowledged that Cincy doesn't know how to manage their roster well. A perfect example is Burkhead, who most acknowledged ran better than Bernard or Hill, yet the Bengals didn't retain him because he wasn't a high round pick..
People are also over-looking the fact that Flowers was just back from an ACL tear last year and the fact that he's still pretty young.
Flowers being a big special teams player for Cincy, like Burkhead, should work in his favor.
Two defensive snaps, 308 ST snaps last season. Makes a lot of sense if they decide that either Harris or Roberts isn't making the roster, because neither would be a big ST contributor as a deep defensive reserve.
I'm no doctor, but, can a person have an ACL tear in a shoulder?
Bengals trade Marquis Flowers to New England
