A 2nd round pick by the Kansas City Chiefs in 2008, Flowers became a Day 1 starter and recorded 101 starts, missing only eight games in his six seasons with the team. He established himself as a dangerous player to throw to, recording three INT-TDs in his first four seasons to go along with his 13 INTs and four fumble recoveries.
Despite finally making the Pro Bowl for the Chiefs in 2013, Flowers was released before the start of the 2014 season and quickly signed with the Chargers – the Chiefs’ division rivals – on a one-year deal. In 14 games played Flowers recorded 3 INTs and the team’s starting CB.
