Marquise Brown Says Cardinals Beat Two Super Bowl Contenders in Trade

One of the biggest trades of the NFL draft’s first round on Thursday was the Cardinals acquiring Marquise “Hollywood” Brown from the Ravens for pick No. 23.

After the trade, Brown explained what happened on the I Am Athlete podcast. First, he said he quietly asked for a trade after not believing he was a good fit in his offense.

Once it became clear he was going to be traded, Brown said multiple teams were involved. Arizona ultimately put together the best offer, but Brown mentioned two other playoff teams were also aggressive in his pursuit.
