Marlon Brown was packing up his bags to head to Chicago to try out for the Bears when his phone rang; it was his offensive coordinator from 2014.
“[Head coach] [Gary] Kubiak and the Broncos called, and they told me, ‘You just have to pass a physical and we’ll sign you,'” Brown explained to BSN Denver on Saturday. “So I came out here. It was pretty easy for me to come out here because I already kind of knew the offense, so it was kind of easy for me to fit in.”
Brown was signed by the Ravens undrafted in 2013 out of Georgia and made an impact right away, eventually being just one of two undrafted rookies to make the roster.
