How does Zay Flowers compare to other 2023 first-round rookie receivers?
By Justin Long
Comparison and Final verdict
After looking at each of the four receivers' numbers so far this season, it's pretty evident that Flowers has been the most productive.
Both JSN and Johnston have been extremely underwhelming for their teams this season, while Addison and Flowers have been by far the most productive of the four.
Even with Addison having a solid season, Flowers still leads him in multiple categories. In the same amount of games played, Flowers has 13 more catches along with 90 more receiving yards and 3 more first downs than Addison. However, Addison does have the edge in touchdowns and yards per catch this season.
By the end of the year, I could certainly see their respective numbers being very close, but I think Flowers has the edge through the first 6 games of the season.
It'll be fun to make this same comparison when the season concludes!
