When the Ravens selected Marquise Brown with the 25th overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft some were skeptical. First there’s the Ravens track record with wide receivers. They haven’t exactly set the world ablaze with intuitive scouting at the position. Plus, Brown isn’t really built like the prototypical No. 1 receiver that the team’s fans covet.
At 5’9”, 170 pounds, Brown can struggle to get a clean release off the line when pressed by larger, capable corners and that can mitigate his world class speed and disrupt the timing of a play.
