CeeDee Lamb reveals conversation with former Oklahoma teammate Marquise 'Hollywood' Brown after trade

CeeDee Lamb isn’t feeling left out of an Oklahoma reunion between Marquise “Hollywood” Brown and Kyler Murray in Arizona.

No, Lamb is simply happy to see his friend and former teammate with a fire lit under him once again. To illustrate, Brown was traded from the Baltimore Ravens to the Cardinals in a shocking draft night move, one that Lamb was even caught off-guard with.

“Most definitely,” Lamb responded, stating he was surprised by the trade. “Really just on draft night, I kind of had an idea it would happen eventually for some reason, because I knew that was kind of where he wanted to be. But for it to happen so sudden, it most definitely caught me by surprise.

“I saw it on TV, just as well as everyone else did. So, I had to make that phone call. Like, I was like, ‘Bro, is this true?’ And then my man was, you know he was excited. To see him smiling again, happy again, excited to be in the offense. I felt like he felt like he belonged there. So, I’m excited to see what him and K1 (Kyler Murray) do. Glad to see them boys back together.”

Moreover, Lamb and Brown played two seasons together, but their time with Murray as their quarterback was something for the record books. During the 2018 Sooners’ season, Brown finished with 75 catches for 1,318 yards and 10 touchdowns, while Lamb had 65 catches for 1,158 yards and 11 touchdowns. Afterwards, Brown would declare for the NFL Draft, while Lamb waited one more season prior to being selected by the Dallas Cowboys.

In his final season with the Sooners, Lamb would elevate the play of quarterback Jalen Hurts before leaving Norman, while Brown had a solid start to his NFL career in Baltimore. However, as the Ravens offense looked to a more run-first approach, Brown saw the writing on the wall, and wanted a bigger piece of the pie.

Luckily, everyone is happy and comes out a winner in the situation. CeeDee Lamb is preparing to be the No. 1 wide receiver on the Cowboys, Marquise “Hollywood” Brown and Kyler Murray are reunited in Arizona, and the Ravens used the pick they got for the wide receiver to bolster their offensive gameplan.

It’s rare when a trade makes so many parties happy, but that’s exactly what happened earlier this offseason.
