Marquise Brown, Kansas City Chiefs, Agree to Contract.
Marquise Brown spent the last year of his deal catching receptions from three different quarterbacks. With Kyler Murray injured to begin the season, Brown was the main option for journeyman quarterback Josh Dobbs and fifth-round rookie Clayton Tune. Murray finally returned, leading the squad to a few victories down the stretch. Brown concluded the season with 51 receptions for 574 yards and four touchdowns on 101 targets.
Brown joins the NFL as a first-round choice in 2019. The Oklahoma product was selected by the Baltimore Ravens and made an immediate impression straight away. The wideout appeared in 14 games, starting 12 of them, and concluded his rookie season with 46 receptions for 584 yards and seven touchdowns, helping Lamar Jackson win his first MVP award.
The wideout proceeded to develop over the next two years, eventually establishing himself as the Ravens’ best wide receiver on the depth chart. In 2021, Brown set career highs in receptions (91), receiving yards (1,008), and targets (146), while also scoring six touchdowns.
Following Brown’s excellent season, the Ravens traded him to the Cardinals for a first-round choice. Brown first justified his decision by forging a great tandem with DeAndre Hopkins. Unfortunately, he was injured midway through the season and only played in 12 games. On the field, the wideout caught 67 passes for 709 yards and three touchdowns on 107 targets.
Since signing his rookie contract, Marquise Brown has appeared in 72 games, making 65 starts. The Oklahoma product has made 313 receptions for 3,644 yards and 28 touchdowns on 525 targets.
