Through two years in the NFL, Marquis Flowers had a pretty common football career for a sixth-round draft pick. As a rookie, he beat the odds and made the Cincinnati Bengals’ 53-man roster. But his 2015 season would only include contributions on special teams. The safety turned linebacker would end up missing the 2016 season due to injury and that would be the end of his time in Cincinnati.
Early in the 2017 offseason, the Patriots took a flyer on Flowers, trading a seventh-round draft pick for the special teamer.
