“Pat was a big part of it, being able to play with Pat, (head) coach (Andy) Reid, a winning culture,” said Marquise Brown.
“The offense I felt like I could come in and I could help, I could fit in. All those things played a part, they were strong on me so there was mutual interest, that is very appealing.
“From the outside looking in he seems like a guy that is very passionate, and I’m a very passionate person,” Brown said of Mahomes. “He wants to win, (he’ll) do everything necessary to win. That’s somebody you want to play with, you want to play with someone who will bring the best out of you that’s going to push your game to the next level. I feel like he’s definitely one of those types of guys.”

“The arm talent, the deep arm talent — it speaks for itself, what can’t he do?” Brown said. “He can extend plays, whatever he has to do to win a game I feel like I’ve watched him do it. From making those big plays to methodically moving down the field to using his feet to playing injured. Those are all qualities and traits of a guy you want to play for.”
