The Philadelphia Eagles made several wide receiver moves this past offseason, including the addition of veteran pass catcher Marquise "Hollywood" Brown.
Brown, who initially entered the league as a first-round draft pick for the Baltimore Ravens in 2019, spent his last two NFL seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs. Back in March, the 29-year-old WR agreed to a one-year deal to join the Eagles for the 2026 season.
Brown says he's feeling "faster than ever" as he prepares for his debut campaign in Philadelphia.

"I'm faster than I've ever been. I feel like I'm playing that way, for sure," he said, via the team's official website. "It's an awesome feeling. I had a Lis Franc injury in my rookie year and that is the kind of injury that is a career-ender, they say. It's cleaned out, I took some time to rest in this offseason and I'm seeing the benefits of that.
"I'm playing more freely. I'm having fun. Enjoying what we're doing out here."

Brown will play alongside DeVonta Smith, Makai Lemon, Dontayvion Wicks and Elijah Moore as part of the Eagles' talented wide receiver depth chart.
"We have a great group and I feel this offense is right for me," Brown added. "I feel like I can showcase my skill set with this group. You look at this offense and what do you see? So many playmakers. So much talent. The scheme is versatile. Just do my job. That is the focus here, working with the other receivers and helping this offense go."
The Eagles will begin their 2026 regular-season schedule with a Week 1 matchup against the Washington Commanders on Sept. 13.
