Zay Flowers, wide receiver for the Baltimore Ravens, has taken the internet by surprise—but not for his moves on the field. This time, it's all about his hair. On June 25, 2025, Zay Flowers shared a new photo of himself with a completely different look.
It wasn't a football update or workout video. Instead, fans saw him with a bold buzz cut, holding his old hair in his hand. The change was quick, unexpected, and got fans everywhere talking. Some cheered him on, while others had fun reactions that spread across social media.

becomes part of growing NFL player style trends
Zay Flowers is not the first NFL player to change his look before a season. Other players such Derrick Henry have surprised their fans by cutting their hair as well.
For many, a haircut marks a fresh start or a new phase instead of only a stylistic makeover. Though Zay Flowers hasn't revealed the exact reason, fans wonder his hairstyle might be for the following NFL season.
The internet cannot stop discussing his fresh appearance whether it is humorous or encouraging.
