Whenever I heard him talk about Flowers it was more for special teams.  Maybe he meant start on special teams?

Here's some more comments on Flowers from Frank Reich.  They seem to be pretty high on him as a cover man.

Ive never seen any UDFA in any of our camps that prompted the coach to say his cover skills are Elite.

 

Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich had only positives to say regarding undrafted rookie free agent cornerback Dallis Flowers, who recently made the final 53-man active roster following a standout training camp and preseason showing:

“Dallis has elite, like you know really good, physical cover skills,” Reich said on Thursday to the media regarding Flowers. “I mean some guys, he’s a real skilled cover guy, and he demonstrated that consistently to show and flash talent that can cover one-on-one. We like his return ability. So, excited to have him on the roster.”

“He needs to continue to grow and develop, but right now, he’s on the roster, so I expect him to contribute and excited about having him.”

The former Pittsburg State star had to fight and claw at cornerback to fulfill his NFL dream, but made the most of his opportunity with the Colts this summer.

The 6’1”, 196 pound cornerback has some definite physical tools to work with (featuring a RAS of 9.5 out of a maximum of 10.0), along with his developing one-on-one coverage skills:

I will pay more attention to him.  Maybe he can make a name for himself like Kenny Moore did.

    • Can you expend on this, why do you think that?
    • No, but I would love that! Is that true? Where did you hear that? I don't think that will happen. I heard that trading Herbert would result in a huge dead cap hit for the Chargers, that would make it nearly impossible to keep or sign other players.
