Zay Flowers played four years at Boston College, during which they never had a winning record. Flowers, who is expected to be a first-round draft pick on Thursday night, was the best wide receiver in the ACC and easily could have transferred to one of the elite programs in college football, but he chose not to. And Boston College’s coach says that has helped his draft stock.

Boston College coach Jeff Hafley told Ben Volin of the Boston Globe that he has spoken to NFL coaches who have told him they’re impressed that Flowers wanted to finish what he started at Boston College, at a time when the NCAA has made it easier than ever for players to transfer.
