James Tod Flower Jr. (October 17, 1895 – May 6, 1956) was a professional football player with the Columbus Panhandles and the Akron Pros of the American Professional Football Association (renamed the National Football League in 1922). He also served as a player-coach for the Pros in 1924, guiding the team to a 2-6 record.
