Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown has made an immediate impact since returning from surgery and missing most of the season. During Tuesday’s press conference, he discussed his journey working with quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
“I feel like from the time we spent the off-season, we built a good rapport with each other,” said Brown. “So just, coming back from injury again, put into practice and the game. It was just like, you know, he (Patrick Mahomes) trusted me from the work we put in an offseason.”
Brown was placed on the Chiefs’ injured reserve list due to a shoulder injury he sustained on the first drive of Kansas City’s first preseason game. He returned to the lineup in Week 16 against the Houston Texans, making his official Kansas City debut.
“I mean, Pat’s (Patrick Mahomes), he’s a great player, and he really knows the game,” said Brown. “So it’s really hard to defend a guy like that, especially in the guy to have it down, because he probably knows what you’re in, and he probably knows where to go with the ball, or if he has to run.”
The duo of Brown and Mahomes worked together all off-season in Texas, and their chemistry was evident in the veteran receivers’ return. He had three catches for 35 yards in the AFC Championship victory over the Buffalo Bills.
