Marquise said in an interview with Pocket Presence, “I can’t forget about my boy Baker. He was my first quarterback in college, so I could say one thing about my guys is I won the Heisman and then Kyler won the Heisman in my rookie year, Lamar won MVP.” Brown expressed gratitude for the opportunity, saying, “I’m not saying it’s me you know but God has definitely blessed me to play with those guys”.
