Are there concerns for Cardinals wide receiver Marquise “Hollywood” Brown about his role in the team’s run heavy scheme?
Nope.
“Not really because, I mean, I played in Baltimore,” Brown said with a smile on his face. “I played in Baltimore … so when I met with these guys, they told me their philosophies and thought process. I said, ‘I can work with that.’ We need something as a team that we can thrive in,” he added.

Hollywood Brown jokes he wasn’t concerned about his role in the new Arizona Cardinals offense because he already played in a run heavy scheme for the Ravens.@PHNX_Cardinals |#BirdGang pic.twitter.com/6wqG4Ts98D
After playing his first three seasons with the Ravens, Brown joined the Cardinals a year ago and caught 67 passes for 709 yards and three touchdowns in Kliff Kingsbury’s pass-heavy offense, averaging 10.6 yards per catch.
With a new coach and new scheme, it will be interesting to see whether Brown can put up numbers similar to the 2021 season, which was his best year as a pro to date. That year, Brown caught 91 passes for 1,008 yards and six touchdowns.
It remains his only 1,000 yard season of his young career, which still boasts plenty of potential.
