Marquise “Hollywood” Brown has waited a long time for this.
When the Kansas City Chiefs take the field in Sao Paulo, Brazil, on Friday night to open the 2025 NFL season against the Los Angeles Chargers, Brown will finally get a prime(time) opportunity to show why he bet on himself (again) this spring.
The former first-round pick of the Baltimore Ravens signed a one-year, incentive-laden deal with the Chiefs in the spring of 2024, hoping to revive his career in a high-octane offense with Patrick Mahomes at the helm. That vision was quickly derailed when Brown suffered a clavicle injury trying to make his very first preseason catch against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
