Patrick Mahomes to get his ‘next Tyreek Hill’ as Chiefs plan surprise activation of one of Lamar Jackson’s favorite TD targets
Patrick Mahomes needs all the help he can get this season. The Kansas City Chiefs are on the verge of making a huge move that could change their passing attack just in time for another Super Bowl run.

Veteran wide receiver Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown is excepted to be activated for the first time this season, according to ESPN. Like former Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill, Brown is a burner who can change a game with a single play. He ran the 40-yard dash in 4.27 seconds and has 28 touchdowns in his NFL career. The 5ft 9in and 180lb Brown was drafted out of Oklahoma with the No.25 overall pick in 2019. He caught seven TD passes as a rookie with the Baltimore Ravens and totalled 21 scores during his three-year run in Baltimore. After totaling 2,361 yards as one of Lamar Jackson‘s favorite targets, Brown added 1,283 yards and seven TDs in Arizona. There had been lingering questions about when the ex-Raven and Cardinal would be activated by the Chiefs. Brown suffered a collarbone injury known as a sternoclavicular joint dislocation in August during the preseason. Despite signing a one-year deal for $11million with the reigning Super Bowl champs, he’s yet to catch a regular-season pass from Mahomes.
