by Imran Tahir, 1/11/08.  Brandon Flowers has, as expected, declared himself eligible for the NFL Draft. Flowers has had a tremendous career, earning back-to-back All-American status these past two seasons while breaking up 27 passes and recording 8 interceptions (including 5 in 2007) in the process. Motivation is a real factor for Flowers, as his on-field play is noticeably more explosive when he plays with passion. In addition to possessing good instincts at his position, Flowers has the necessary physical tools to succeed in the NFL, though his listed 5’10” height will generate some concern amongst NFL scouts and GM’s. Good pre-Draft workouts and interviews will solidify Flowers’ status as a 2nd Round pick. Of benefit to Flowers is the past and present NFL success of DB’s from the Hokie football program.
