There were a number of trades in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft. The Baltimore Ravens traded Marquise “Hollywood” Brown to the Arizona Cardinals and the No. 100 overall selection (third round choice) for the No. 23 overall selection in the first round of this year’s draft. His time with the Baltimore Ravens officially came to a surprising end. The franchise initially drafted the Hollywood, Florida native in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft. During his three seasons with the franchise, Brown reeled in 195 catches for 2,361 receiving yards, while hauling in 21 touchdowns.

Thursday night on Twitter, the former Ravens’ star tweeted his feelings about leaving Lamar Jackson and he wasn’t happy about it.

His best performance in the 2021-2022 season came against the Indianapolis Colts on Oct. 11, when he reeled in 10 catches for 125 receiving yards and two touchdowns.

While he was at Oklahoma, Brown played with former Heisman Trophy winner, Kyler Murray, and they established one of the best quarterback-wide receiver tandems in college football during their time together.

In 2018, Hollywood had 75 catches for 1,318 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns for the Oklahoma Sooners. Murray had an electrifying season as well, throwing for over 4,000 yards and rushing for over 800 yards in bringing home the coveted Heisman hardware. He found the end zone 51 total times during the historic season.

Brown is coming off his best NFL season last year with the Baltimore Ravens. In the 2021-2022 season, he pulled in 91 catches for 1,008 receiving yards and six touchdown catches. The Cardinals’ wide receiver corps will now feature the likes of De’Andre Hopkins, Rondale Moore, and A.J. Green at the top of their depth chart.

Coming out of high school, Brown was rated as a four-star prospect, according to multiple recruiting services.
