With Week 18 in our sights, it’s that time of year where everyone in and around the NFL starts handing out end-of-season awards. Things are no different here at CBSSports.com. This week, on the With The First Pick podcast, CBS Sports NFL Draft expert Ryan Wilson and former NFL general manager Rick Spielman unveiled their All-Rookie Team for the 2023 season.

Flowers has been Lamar Jackson’s top receiver all season, and has alternately been an explosive deep threat and a short-area YAC machine, doing whatever the Ravens have needed on his way to a 77-858-5 receiving line.
