Former Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown appeared on Speakeasy with LeSean McCoy and Emmanuel Acho, where he opened up about the Chiefs’ future and the impact of the coaching staff.
“In this league, the margin of error is so small, I felt like the group of guys and the staff we had with Coach (Andy) Reid, I wouldn’t be able to handle that adversity anywhere else than where I just handled it at,” said Brown, “The way he kept us in it, the way we still never gave up, it wasn’t a season we wanted to have, but it was a season we all learned from. Every player, from the coaches to the staff, we didn’t look at it as a loss. We looked at it as a learning lesson. You can tell that’s a winning culture. When you go through a season like that, you could turn on each other. You can do this, do that. For us, it was like, ‘Ok, we learned from this. Attack the offseason harder.’ Whoever’s going to be in that building over there, those guys are going to get ready to go for the next year.”
On Tuesday, Brown signed a one-year deal, worth up to $6.5 million, to be the Philadelphia Eagles’ newest wide receiver. Brown missed most of his first season in Kansas City due to a shoulder injury in the first preseason game and was forced to have surgery. He finished the season with nine catches for 91 yards, while last season, Brown finished with 49 catches for 587 yards and 5 touchdowns.
