Marquis Flowers

What are your thoughts on him? Is Flowers an option in the Fifth or Sixth Round? To my eyes, Flowers was the best player on a bad Arizona defense for the last three years. He played FS in his first two years, and then OLB/nickel in his last two seasons.

68 tackles in 2011 at FS. Then in 2012, he had 100 tackles, 5.5 sacks, three interceptions, 6 passes defended, and three forced fumbles while playing flex-OLB. Last season, he recorded 93 tackles and 11 tackles for loss.

He looks like a Kam Chancellor clone on tape, or as close to that as is possible. Solid, hard, wrap up tackler. Ran a 4.51 40 at his Pro Day, while measuring in at 6'3, 231 lbs.

Same height and weight as Chancellor.

Chancellor's 40: 4.59
Flowers' 40: 4.51

Chancellor's 10-yard split: 1.60
Flowers' 10-yard split: 1.58

Chancellor's short shuttle: 4.41
Flowers' short shuttle: 4.32

Chancellor's 3-cone: 7.36
Flowers' 3-cone: 7.06

Chancellor's bench press: 22
Flowers' bench press: 24

Nice find, very interesting.

And if this article is correct, Flowers was offered a scholarship by Carroll right before he left USC. Flowers was one of the top rated safeties in the country coming out of high school in Arizona.
