It has been a great season for the New England Patriots, and it has also been a great season for defensive end Trey Flowers. Flowers was selected by the New England Patriots in the fourth round of the 2015 NFL Draft.
As a rookie, Flowers played in just one game, and only totaled four snaps the entire season. On December 1st, a shoulder injury landed him on injured reserve, which ended his season. Despite basically not playing in his rookie season, Flowers has emerged as a young star of the Patriots’ defense. His success might come as a surprise to many, but not his teammate Dont’a Hightower.
