The Baltimore Ravens have seen third-year wide receiver Marquise Brown take major strides so far during the 2021 season. He has been a go-to weapons for quarterback Lamar Jackson, and outside of a few mistakes has been rather consistent over the course of the year.
When talking to the media on Tuesday, Baltimore pass game specialist Keith Williams was asked about what Brown has done better in his route running. Williams pointed to multiple things that have helped the wide receiver take massive strides this season, including his preparation and great attention to detail.
“He’s paying close attention to detail. His preparation throughout the week helps him perform the way he has been so far on Sundays. He’s psychologically, mentally and physically locked in. He understands what needs to be done, so when he comes out here to work every day, he knows every rep is a time to improve, is a time to get better and set himself up for the potential to have a good game.”
Brown currently leads the Ravens in receiving yards (537) and receiving touchdowns (six) while also being tied for the team-lead in targets with 37. He looks much more crisp coming out of his routes, and is seemingly playing with a lot more confidence in himself. There are still a few things that he needs to improve upon such as drops, but the early returns on Brown’s third season has been promising.
