Jackie Flowers (born March 4, 1958) is a former professional American football wide receiver in the United States Football League for the Arizona Wranglers, Chicago Blitz, Pittsburgh Maulers and the Orlando Renegades. He also played in the National Football League for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He played college football at Florida State University.
Flowers was a standout wide receiver at William M. Raines High School, graduating in 1976. He accepted a scholarship from Florida State University where he was a four-year letterman.
In 1978, he made 43 catches for 757 yards and 7 TDs, earning honorable-mention All-American honors. In his senior year, he caught 37 passes for 622 yards, 7 touchdowns, plus a 2-point conversion and was named second-team All-American. He finished his college career as the school's fifth-leading receiver with 102 receptions for 1,730 yards and 15 touchdowns.
Flowers was selected in the ninth round (246th overall) of the 1980 NFL Draft by the Dallas Cowboys, after dropping because he lacked speed and was seen as a possession receiver. On August 25, he was waived in pre-season after the Cowboys decided to keep only 3 wide receivers on the roster.
In December 1980, he was signed as a free agent by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, after being out of football for the whole season. In 1981, he was placed on the injured reserve list with a knee injury, before being released the next year.
