Steelers CB Patrick Peterson Calls Ravens WR Zay Flowers A “Little Munchkin” Ahead Of Week 5 Game

Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Patrick Peterson decided to give the Baltimore Ravens some bulletin board material ahead of their Week 5 matchup.

Speaking to the media Friday afternoon, Peterson referred to Ravens rookie wideout Zay Flowers as a “little munchkin.” 

“He’s very shifty, very, very fast,” Peterson said of Flowers. “He can get behind the defense. He’s kind of like the guy that can do it all for him, run the screens, run the reverses and still also run the big post as well. So it’s going to be fun trying to keep our eye on that fast, little munchkin there.”

Now, Peterson may not have been mocking Flowers, but you simply can’t refer to someone as a “little munchkin” and expect it go over well especially if you’re a Pittsburgh Steeler and the person you’re talking about is a Baltimore Raven.

Everyone knows the rivalry there.

Flowers, a first-round pick out of Boston College, has been consistent for the Ravens this season. He has 24 receptions for 244 yards in four games.
