It’s been a quiet free agency for the Kansas City Chiefs…until Thursday that is. The team finally answered the questions surrounding its wide receiver rotation in the form of Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown. Coming off a stint with the Arizona Cardinals, Brown agreed to a one-year deal with the Chiefs. And at the moment, Patrick Mahomes couldn’t be happier about having a new wideout to sling footballs to.
While he didn’t really say this directly, Mahomes’ smiley emoji tweet denotes his feelings on the recent acquisition.
Brown is a five-year player out of Oklahoma. Selected as the 25th overall pick in the first round of the 2019 NFL draft, the wide receiver spent his first three seasons with the Baltimore Ravens before being traded to the Cardinals. Last year, Brown put up 574 receiving yards and four touchdowns in 51 catches while starting in the 14 games he played. He was the Cardinals’ leading WR in rec. yards and was second among the entire roster in that category, just behind tight end Trey McBride.
