Former Cardinals Star Vows to Victimize His Old Team on Opening Day
KANSAS CITY, MO — August 8, 2025 — Marquise “Hollywood” Brown, the Kansas City Chiefs’ dynamic wide receiver, is gearing up for a fiery reunion with his former team, the Arizona Cardinals, in the Chiefs’ preseason opener tomorrow. Brown, who played two seasons with the Cardinals before signing a one-year deal with Kansas City in 2024, is coming off a challenging year marked by injury but has secured a contract extension through 2025. Now, he’s ready to prove his worth—starting with a bold statement against his old teammates.
Sidelined for much of the 2024 season due to an ankle injury, Brown made a strong return late in the year, contributing 28 receptions for 412 yards and 3 touchdowns. His recent extension reflects the Chiefs’ confidence in his ability to elevate their high-powered offense alongside Patrick Mahomes. As the team prepares to face Arizona, Brown isn’t holding back. “I’m not going easy, even if it’s my old teammates,” he said during a press conference at Missouri Western State University. “The Chiefs gave me a chance to come back from injury, and I’m paying them back with a touchdown to prove I belong here.”
Brown’s time with the Cardinals from 2022 to 2023 saw him rack up 1,283 yards and 7 touchdowns, but his tenure ended without a long-term deal. Now, with a fresh start in Kansas City, he’s determined to make a statement. Head Coach Andy Reid praised Brown’s mindset, noting, “Hollywood’s got that fire. He’s hungry to show what he can do, and we’re excited to see him shine.”
As the Chiefs aim for a historic third straight Super Bowl, Brown’s focus is clear: deliver on the field, not just in words. Facing his former team, he sees an opportunity to cement his place in Kansas City’s offense. With the regular season looming, Brown’s promise of a touchdown signals his intent to make every snap count, proving he’s worth the Chiefs’ investment.
