Kyler Murray reacts to Marquise Brown signing with the Chiefs, and ‘Hollywood’ responds

Kyler Murray reacted on social media to the departure of friend and former Sooners teammate Marquise “Hollywood” Brown.

It’s the end of an era in Arizona. Marquise “Hollywood” Brown signed a one-year deal with the two-time defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs, leaving the Cardinals and close friend and former Sooners teammate Kyler Murray.

The two reunited in Arizona after a draft day trade sent Brown to the Cardinals in 2022.

In two seasons with the Cardinals, “Hollywood” caught 118 passes for 1,283 yards and seven touchdowns in 26 games.

Murray reacted on social media, sharing a clip from the 2006 film, “The 300,” sharing his disappointment in his teammate’s and friend’s departure for K.C.

In the clip, Leonidas, King of Sparta, tells Ephialtes, “may you live forever,” after the disfigured descendant of Sparta betrays the Spartan army to Xerxes and the Persian army.

Murray then shared a meme of Wolverine looking longingly at a photo. The photo was of Murray and Brown’s time together with the Oklahoma Sooners playing rock, paper, scissors.

“Hollywood” responded in a post on the social media platform X, saying, “I’ma miss you little man.”

The two have had a close bond since setting the college football world on fire during the 2018 season. During Murray’s Heisman Trophy winning season, Brown caught 75 passes for 1,318 yards and 10 touchdowns. Both players were taken in the first round of the 2019 NFL draft.

It’s not a terrible day for Murray, though. The Arizona Cardinals quarterback and the rest of the NFC West received some good news when multiple All-Pro and NFL Defensive Player of the Year Aaron Donald announced his retirement from the Los Angeles Rams and the NFL.

As the saying goes, when one door closes, a gaping hole in the middle of the defense opens.
