Of those mentioned in the initial name-drop on Thursday was former Oklahoma wide receiver and current Baltimore Raven speedster Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown.
Brown is a big piece of the young gun offense in Baltimore that includes Lamar Jackson, Mark Ingram, and fellow Sooners Mark Andrews and Orlando Brown Jr.
Brown hit the ground running in Week 1 of his rookie season against Miami scoring two touchdowns on four receptions while racking up 147 yards. He finished his rookie campaign with 46 receptions for 584 yards and seven touchdowns.
As a Sooner, Brown was a running highlight reel. In just 25 games Brown hauled in 132 passes for 2,413 yards and 27 touchdowns for back-to-back Heisman Trophy winners in Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray. Brown has caught passes from the 2016, 2017, and 2018 Heisman Trophy winners with Jackson being his signal-caller in Baltimore.
The Madden bracket reveal will take place on Sunday, April 19 on ESPN2 at 11 am CT.
