The Baltimore Ravens drafted Marquise Brown. Here are three big things to think about:

1. High potential player with only one major concern:

If you consider Marquise Brown’s lisfranc injury over and done with and nothing to worry about, his size is the only concern. He will be ready to make big plays as a rookie for the Ravens. If the Ravens are comfortable with it, it’s not a major concern moving forward. He measures up at 5’9″ 161 pounds, which makes him one of the smaller players in the NFL, even at a skill position. He’s a freak athlete though, and his athleticism is obvious. The comparison many analysts are making, including NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah is to Desean Jackson.

In 2017, Brown had 1,095 yards and and seven touchdowns where he averaged 19.2 yards per catch. In 2018 he has 75 receptions for 1,318 yards and 10 touchdowns averaging 17.6 yards per carry. In the 2018 season he had over five catches in all but two of his games. He had six games where he had over 100 yards including a 243 yard and two touchdown showing against West Virginia. He’s not just an incredible deep threat but he is a yards after the catch creator.

Brown is a potential superstar. His upside is becoming one of the most dangerous players in the NFL. He has the talent to be like Tyreek Hill (as a football player only). The Ravens now have two of the fastest play-makers in the league. The Ravens took a shot here and if it works out everybody in Baltimore will either be wearing a Jackson jersey or a Brown jersey on Purple Fridays.
