More than a fullback: Jets' Flowers ready to showcase versatility as UDFA

The media attention was on the quarterback, per usual, as Dimitri Flowers sat alone quietly at his locker inside the Jets' training facility.

It was nothing new for Flowers, a gritty, blue-collar athlete who likes labeling himself more as a "football player" than his listed fullback position.

The 22-year-old undrafted free agent who played in the same offense as this year's No. 1 overall pick, Baker Mayfield, has a locker which resides right next to Sam Darnold, the Jets' hopeful franchise QB the organization has been in search of for decades.

As Darnold handled a similar media firestorm likes the ones Mayfield garnered the past few years, Flowers -- out of Oklahoma -- had his head buried in the playbook with little to no attention.
