Selected by the Baltimore Ravens in the 2019 NFL Draft, Brown spent three seasons with them before requesting a trade to the Arizona Cardinals in 2022. Despite enduring injuries, he showcased his talent, especially in his breakout 2021 season, where he notched 1,008 yards and 91 receptions.

Now, Brown joins forces with superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce in Kansas City, aiming to bolster the Chiefs‘ receiving corps and pursue a third consecutive Super Bowl victory. His arrival addresses a glaring need for the Chiefs, who faced challenges with their receiving options in critical moments during the previous season.

Despite facing setbacks due to injuries, Brown‘s rapport with quarterbacks such as Lamar Jackson and Kyler Murray underscores his potential impact in Kansas City. With Mahomes at the helm, Brown‘s addition injects much-needed dynamism into the Chiefs‘ offense, providing a boost in their quest for continued success.

As the Chiefs gear up for the upcoming season, Brown‘s signing represents a strategic move to beef up their roster and maintain their championship aspirations.
