Marquise Brown for NFL Draft
Every year in the world of college football there are players that go pro. Some turn out to be absolute stars and some just die off. Oklahoma Sooners Marquise “Hollywood” Brown has announced his intentions to play in the NFL this year. Brown, a junior college transfer still had one year of eligibility remaining, however he will go to the next level and play in the NFL.
Marquise “Hollywood” Brown Goes Pro
Brown led the Oklahoma Sooners with 75 catches of the year for a total of 1,318 yards this season. Despite, his small size being only 5’10” tall, he reached 1,000 yards or more receiving both of his two years at Oklahoma. Which was good enough to finish tied for eighth in the entire country in yards this past season.
The Sooners and their high powered offense dominated all year long, with Brown being a big reason for their success on the offensive side of the ball. He happens to be one of the biggest threats in all of college football. He will go into the 2019 NFL Draft as one of the top prospects at his position.
According to Matt Miller of Bleacher Report, Brown enters as the number three receiver in the upcoming draft, and also the top slot receiver and route runner. Brown has drawn many comparisons most notably to DeSean Jackson. Brown, however did not tally any catches in the Orange Bowl loss to the Alabama Crimson Tide.
Any team that drafts him will have to decide whether or not if Brown’s incredible play making abilities and explosiveness as a wideout makes him worth a high draft pick come April. How will Brown pan out in the NFL?
How will the star wide receiver from the University of Oklahoma fare in the NFL? I think he will be an amazing talent at the next level as well.
