I don't believe so. As coach Rizzi said the Saints aren't planning on calling the fair catch anyway. I suspect Flowers didn't show enough at WR to make the squad and there are others that can handle other duties AND return kicks, including the two new WR's Bowden and Coutee. If you want to make the Saints squad you better have multiple skill sets.

Edit: As I thought. I just checked out Flowers' college stats. He only had 52 catches over his five year career at Montana. Add in his 16 rush attempts and he managed only five TD's. On the other hand he had 92 kickoff returns. He was a one trick pony. He was worth a look, but in the NFL you have to earn your spot.
