There was once a widely accepted opinion that the Baltimore Ravens were a terrible place to go if you wanted to be a productive wide receiver. People ignored the successes of guys like Anquan Boldin and Steve Smith Sr. and instead focused on others like Breshad Perriman. This led many to believe that Oklahoma’s Marquise Brown’s career was over before it even started when the Ravens drafted him with the 25th overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft.
Brown was far from a sure thing no matter where he was drafted due to limited size and a foot injury, and he wasn’t even universally regarded as the 2019 NFL Draft’s best wide receiver prospect.
