The Baltimore Ravens might not have had the season they wanted, but receiver Zay Flowers sure did.
Lamar Jackson's go-to guy posted career-high numbers in yards (1,211), receptions (86), and tied his highest total for touchdowns (5).
All of that in a season where he didn't have Lamar for a handful of games.
But now comes the business side of the NFL. Flowers and his fifth-year option. Should the Ravens pick it up?
For NFL.com's Marc Ross, Flowers is an extension candidate in Baltimore.
“Despite a few missteps, Flowers has been Baltimore's best receiver since his arrival,” Ross wrote. “He's shown that he's made for the big moment, evidenced by his 138-yard, two-TD performance in the regular-season finale against Pittsburgh.
"With back-to-back 1,000-yard receiving seasons that have resulted in Pro Bowl selections, it feels like Flowers is just scratching the surface.”

Dust still settling on John Harbaugh decision
Talk about a stick of dynamite going off.
Some are still coming to terms with the fact that Harbaugh, after 18 years, is no longer the Ravens' head coach.
With the search now underway to find his replacement, Baltimore's job opening is easily the most attractive and likely sought-after position in football.
After all, who wouldn't want to coach Lamar Jackson?
With so many candidates, Baltimore will take its time in choosing Harbaugh's successor, and we think that Lamar might even have a little input as well.
