Seattle Seahawks

The Seattle Seahawks selected Flowers in the fifth round (146th overall) of the 2018 NFL draft. Flowers was the 13th safety and the 30th defensive back drafted in 2018.[4] The Seahawks previously acquired the pick used to select Flowers as part of a trade that sent Marshawn Lynch to the Oakland Raiders.[5] The Seahawks immediately announced their decision to convert Flowers from safety to cornerback.[6]

On May 17, 2018, the Seahawks signed Flowers to a four-year, $2.75 million contract that included a signing bonus of $298,729.[7]

Flowers entered training camp as a backup cornerback, but began competing for a job as the starting cornerback after he quickly transitioned to the position and impressed the coaching staff.[8][9] He competed for the starting cornerback job against veterans Byron Maxwell and Dontae Johnson.[10] Head coach Pete Carroll named Flowers a starting cornerback after injuries to both Maxwell and Johnson.[11] He was named a starter alongside Shaquill Griffin and safeties Bradley McDougald and Earl Thomas.

He made his professional regular season debut and first career start in the Seahawks' season opener at the Denver Broncos, and recorded eight combined tackles and a pass deflection in their 27–24 loss. Flowers primarily covered Pro Bowl wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders during the game and allowed 10 receptions on 11 targets for 135 yards and a 43-yard touchdown.[12] Flowers was inactive for the Seahawks' Week 2 loss at the Chicago Bears due to a hamstring injury.[13]

Flowers entered the 2020 season third on the depth chart behind Shaquill Griffin and Quinton Dunbar. He played in 11 games with seven starts before being placed on injured reserve on December 5, 2020.[14] On January 2, 2021, Flowers was activated off of injured reserve.[15]

On October 12, 2021, Flowers was waived by the Seahawks.[16]

Cincinnati Bengals

Flowers was claimed off waivers by the Cincinnati Bengals on October 14, 2021.[17] Flowers served in a specialty role covering tight ends, most notably holding Travis Kelce to just 25 yards in Week 17 against the Kansas City Chiefs. He played for the team in Super Bowl LVI, recording three combined tackles and one solo tackle.

On April 9, 2022, Flowers re-signed with the Bengals.[18]

Flowers began the 2022 season as the third cornerback on the depth chart, behind Chidobe Awuzie and Eli Apple, though he continued his role as the team's tight end coverage specialist.

In Week 15 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Flowers recorded his only interception with the Bengals, helping the team begin their comeback to score 31-unanswered points in the second half to win the game 34–23.

Atlanta Falcons

On May 8, 2023, Flowers signed a one-year deal with the Atlanta Falcons.[19] He played in all 17 games with three starts, recording 21 tackles and two passes defensed.

Jacksonville Jaguars

On May 16, 2024, Flowers signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars.[20] He was released on August 27, and re-signed to the practice squad.[21][22] He was promoted to the active roster on September 12.[23] He was released on October 22.

Indianapolis Colts

On October 29, 2024, Flowers signed with the Indianapolis Colts practice squad.[24] He was released on November 21 and re-signed to the practice squad four days later.[25][26]

Flowers is the cousin of former NFL fullback Dimitri Flowers and the nephew of former NFL defensive end Erik Flowers.[27]
