HOLLYWOOD — Marquise “Hollywood” Brown doesn’t need any extra motivation.

Now going into his eighth NFL season, the desire to win a championship has always been burning inside him, he said. Losing Super Bowl LIX in February as a member of the Kansas City Chiefs only added fuel to the fire.

“If you don’t got motivation every game,” Brown said, “this probably ain’t the sport for you.”

Brown will be going into his second season with the Chiefs when NFL teams begin reporting for training camp next week. Now fully healthy again after missing nearly all of last season, and under a new one-year contract, Brown said he’s ready and motivated to contribute as the Chiefs look to return to the Super Bowl.

“Very good, fun offseason,” Brown said at his fourth annual youth football camp in his native Hollywood on Saturday. “Just been working non-stop; in-season, offseason. Trying to keep it consistent.”

After getting drafted No. 25 by Baltimore in 2019, Brown spent three seasons with the Ravens and posted career highs in yards, catches and touchdowns throughout that stretch while playing alongside longtime pal and fellow Broward native Lamar Jackson.

His first season in Kansas City after a two-year stint with the Arizona Cardinals, however, was a tumultuous one.

A clavicle injury on the very first play of the preseason left Brown on injured reserve for nearly the entire regular season. It was the first time in Brown’s pro career he was sidelined for an extended period of time and the first time he missed more than four regular-season games, returning in late December.

“It’s just another time facing adversity,” Brown said. “But when I’m faced with stuff like that, I understand there’s a lot of people that look up to me, so I just use it as fuel to never give up, never pout in any situation. Whatever you’re faced with, face it head-on.”

That left Brown to assimilate into one of the most high-powered offenses in the league with only two regular-season games left on the schedule.

“It wasn’t really hard,” Brown said of the transition. “We put a lot of work in together in the offseason. In season, we all hang out with each other. So when I got back, it was like I wasn’t really gone.”

After getting activated from injured reserve, Brown found a way to contribute to a Kansas City offense that was already humming by that point. He recorded multiple receptions in all but one of the five games he played in, including three catches in their AFC Championship victory and a pair of grabs in their 40-22 loss to Philadelphia in the Super Bowl.

Now, it’s about getting back to the form he was in when he was posting 100-catch and 1,000-yard seasons early on in his career. It starts when the Chiefs officially report for the 2025 season next week.

“Ready to get back; we got training camp next week,” Brown said. “It’ll be good to go to work every day and go grind.”

However, first was a stop in his hometown for his annual youth football camp and community outreach day.

This was the fourth year that Brown has collaborated with the Hollywood Police Department to organize a free football camp — including a grocery and school-supply giveaway this year — and it was only natural to do it on the very field he grew up playing on.

“I scored a lot of touchdowns out here, so there’s a lot of memories for sure,” Brown said. “It always helps when (kids) come here and see that I’ve been in the same shoes they’ve been in.”
