REPRINT: The roadmap to Ereck Flowers’ success in the NFL was published years ago

** On the day of Ereck Flowers’ glorious return back to DC, I thought it was worth dusting off this look at the tackle turned guard originally published before the 2019 season. **

When the Rosetta Stone - originally created in 196 BC - was re-discovered by French soldiers in 1799 it eventually led to a breakthrough in the understanding of the ancient Egyptian language and script. When I stumbled upon Stephen White’s 2015 pre-draft breakdown of Ereck Flowers yesterday, I felt a similar illumination. His April 2, 2015 SB Nation piece, Ereck Flowers is a big dude who’s a big NFL Draft prospect despite his technique, is a mind-expanding deep dive into Flowers’ strengths and weaknesses that makes me a heck of a lot more comfortable that we’re on the right path with the left guard experiment being carried out this preseason.
