VT's Flowers To Bloom In Pros?

Fresh off of releasing a collection of his band's B-sides in time for holiday shopping making a game-changing INT against Virginia and being named 2nd-team All-ACC, VT junior Brandon Flowers is staring down his draft decision and supposedly "leaning" towards his return. Bad news for ACC receivers as well as draftniks looking to use "the next DeAngelo Hall" in a pejorative sense. Though Flowers seems to be implying that a first-round guarantee could certainly sway his decision-making (i.e., he's gone), Bud Foster calls him the "best corner he's ever had," so do the math on that.

Despite superior stats, it's quite possible that Flowers wasn't able to show his ability as often as he could, mostly because teams were staying away from him after a season in which he made third-team All American. Of course, with 1st-teamer Macho Harris on the other side, well, I guess you pick your battles.
