The Facts: Brown found his way into the NFL record books, sped past defensive backs and proved to be the team’s best weapon in its passing game in the playoffs. The most impressive part: Brown provided only a glimpse of what he could do. Team officials acknowledged their top deep threat hadn’t fully healed from his foot surgery from a year ago and his contributions were missing in several games. “Marquise was really not 100 percent most of the year, and that was pretty obvious, right?,” HC John Harbaugh said. “He’s a huge piece of what we’re doing and fits this offense so well."

Diehards Line: Brown showed flashes of being a dangerous playmaker on the outside, tying a Ravens rookie record with seven touchdown catches this season and posting the fifth-fastest average maximum speed by an NFL wide receiver. In the 28-12 playoff loss to the Tennessee Titans, Brown totaled 126 yards receiving on seven catches, including a spectacular one-handed grab for 38 yards. It was uncertain how much he would contribute in his first season after he had surgery in January 2019 to repair a fracture in the middle of his foot. That caused him to fall to the No. 25 overall pick in the draft and forced him to miss all of the offseason spring workouts as well as all of the team drills in the first two weeks of training camp. Brown, however, made a splash in his NFL debut, becoming the first player in league history with multiple 40-yard touchdowns in his first career game. He finished with 46 catches for 584 yards receiving, the eighth-most by a rookie this season. The expectation is Brown will become faster and more impactful in his second season, which can boost the weakest area in Lamar Jackson's game.
