NFL Star Brandon Flowers -- I 'HEAR' the Best Strip Clubs Are ...

Check this out ... TMZ Sports recently asked Kansas City Chiefs defensive stud Brandon Flowers to name his Top 3 favorite strip clubs in the country.

But since Brandon says strip clubs are "kind of frowned upon in the NFL," he agreed to tell us about the one he "hears" about the most instead.

So, here's Brandon's official Strip Club Breakdown:

1) Onyx in Atlanta -- "I heard that one's pretty good"

2) Tootsies in Miami -- "I heard Tootsies has the best lobster tail and rice on earth."

3) 11 in Miami -- "It's a new club that's supposed to be pretty good so I'm looking forward to 'hearing' about that one."
