The 2024 NFL season is months away, but Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes didn’t want to wait much longer to test his arm with his new wide receiver. The three-time Super Bowl MVP was back on the field showing off his arm in a video with his newly signed teammate Marquise “Hollywood” Brown.

Mahomes posted a video of him tossing passes to Brown on his Instagram account and a highlight reel of a suspected independent workout. The video was accompanied by the Big Sean song Precision, and it appeared that the new teammates were already in sync.

The pair was spotted working out with trainer Bobby Stroupe last month, so a positive bond seems to have formed well before organized team activities.

Skyy Moore is also featured in the video. After a rough 2023, he hopes to significantly contribute to the team’s offensive plans in the upcoming season.

The Chiefs could still be in the market for a wide receiver during this month’s NFL Draft, but it’s good to see the current crop getting some early work under their belts.

The Kansas City Chiefs are focused on improving their quality of play at the wide receiver position heading into the 2024 season. Marquise Hollywood Brown’s signing at the start of free agency is a significant step towards fixing some issues plaguing the group last season.

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid is in Florida for the NFL’s annual meetings this week. According to CBS Sports’ Jeff Kerr, he discussed Brown’s signing and its potential impact on the offense.

“I think Marquise gives you that speed element on the outside, or inside, for that matter,” Reid explained. “He’s played all the different spots. I think he’s a smart kid. He’ll complement with Rashee [Rice] and Trav [Travis Kelce] well.”

In 2023, the Chiefs’ receivers suffered from too many drops and unforced errors, leading many to criticize the personnel choices. In his rookie season, Rice emerged as a budding star in the offense, and Brown could be the proven veteran needed alongside him in the receivers room.

“I gotta see how he does. I think his main thing is just staying healthy. It’s been an issue up to this point,” said Reid. “He looks like he’s in great shape. He’s in a good frame of mind.”

Brown has a reputation for making big plays and has the personality to fit in with the many characters in the Chiefs locker room. Coaches, players, and fans have good reason to be excited about their chances at a three-peat.

The addition of wide receiver Marquise “Hollywood” Brown this offseason has immediately addressed a need for the Kansas City Chiefs. The one-year deal is the bandaid sought after a season of unusual drops from the receiver position during the Chiefs Super Bowl run.

In the latest episode of New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce, Travis shared his thoughts on the Brown signing and his research into his new teammate.

“I’m pumped about this one man (the) guy can absolutely fly,” Kelce explained. “[I] talked to my guys, my Oklahoma Sooners, on what type of guy he is, and everybody just raves about the person he is in the building.

“I saw him on Twitch streaming the day he signed, the day he confirmed it, and he was having a good old time, man. I think it’s gonna be a great addition to the locker room as well as on the field, man. I’m pumped to get in the building and get to work, baby.”

Brown has all the skill and character to fit the Chiefs’ locker room alongside the polarizing Kelce. The chemistry on the field will be something fans can’t wait to see when training camp gets underway in July.

#Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Rashee Rice trained with their new teammate Marquise “Hollywood” Brown this week.

The journey to three Super Bowl titles in a row is underway for some members of the Kansas City Chiefs. The offseason workouts not sanctioned by the team are early indicators of the players’ camaraderie and trust before heading into organized team activity.

Well-known trainer Bobby Stroupe has notably worked with Chiefs players such as Patrick Mahomes, George Karlaftis, and his various athlete clients. He posted images from workouts featuring Mahomes, Rashee Rice, and newly signed receiver Marquise “Hollywood” Brown on his X account early Thursday morning.

In the initial image featuring Rice and Brown, Stroupe details the importance of working on footwork to avoid serious injuries.

In recent years, Stroupe has been featured for his work with Mahomes, especially during his battles with lower leg injuries. The three-time Super Bowl MVP showed plenty of flexibility during his AFC Championship game performance against the Baltimore Ravens, due in part to the work with Stroupe.

Mahomes is still working out in the offseason, and his receivers, Rice and Brown, are joining him. The group is building the chemistry off the field needed for the 2024 season.

Chiefs WR Marquise Brown is expecting big things in Andy Reid’s system

The Kansas City Chiefs prioritized adding a game-changing wide receiver this offseason, and it appears they have found their guy. Marquise “Hollywood” Brown prefers to be called by his nickname, as he’s proven to thrive in the spotlight in his career.

The Chiefs’ new star wide receiver spoke with the media for the first since signing with Kansas City on Monday. He shared his reasons for choosing the Chiefs over several other offers around the league.

“I feel like I can move around and do different things and stretch the field, and there are guys here,” Brown said. “Guys [like], [Travis] Kelce, the running backs, [Rashee] Rice, [Kadarius] Toney. There are weapons here. I just feel like I can come in [and] my game can complement the guys they have here. And Coach [Andy] Reid, he’s a mastermind, and Patrick Mahomes. I’m excited to work with everyone.”

Brown was effective for a struggling Arizona Cardinals team in his last two seasons. In Arizona, Brown had 118 receptions for 1,283 yards and seven touchdowns. He looks forward to more significant numbers and less double coverage in Kansas City.

“Being in this system, I feel like I’ll be able to showcase my skill set; I still feel like there’s a lot of my game that I really haven’t got to show people,” said Brown. “That’s probably what I’m excited about the most being here; it’s to just put my best foot forward and show what I can do.”

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid has always found a way to get speedy receivers the ball and out in space throughout his legendary career. Brown opened up more about his screenshot of his text message to the franchise’s winningest coach during recruitment.

“I mean, his track record really speaks for itself. He don’t really gotta pitch you on anything,” said Brown, “Real talk about what’s gonna happen, what was going on? That’s pretty much what landed me here.”

Brown should see a significant uptick in his production playing alongside his new teammates and in the Chiefs system.

Bryant played ten seasons in the NFL, earning three Pro Bowl selections during his time with the Dallas Cowboys. In retirement, Bryant has become a vocal fan, posting to social media about anything and everything related to NFL football and sharing his thoughts about each team’s decisions with fans during the offseason.

The Kansas City Chiefs added a game-changing wide receiver late Thursday night with the reported signing of Marquise “Hollywood” Brown. The addition had social media buzzing, and many fans wondered how the deal got done.

Marquise “Hollywood” Brown saw a couple of touchdown passes thrown his way in Week 3 wind up on the ground. The Baltimore Ravens’ wideout made up for it in a big way on Sunday.

Brown is wide, wide open behind the Denver Broncos’ secondary but he still had to lay out to make a diving grab of the pass from Lamar Jackson in the second quarter.

Brown does just that, coming up with the ball and the 49-yard score with the PAT but Baltimore ahead, 14-7, at that point.
