He spent the last two seasons with the Arizona Cardinals and Kansas City Chiefs, where he had 587 receiving yards and 5 touchdowns in 2025. The 5'9" receiver will now join a talented Eagles receiving corps that includes A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, and others.

The addition of Hollywood Brown gives the Eagles another dynamic playmaker in their passing attack as they look to build on their Super Bowl LIX appearance. Brown's speed and big-play ability will complement the skills of the team's other top receivers.

He was then drafted 25th overall by the Ravens in 2019. Brown spent three seasons in Baltimore before being traded to the Cardinals, where he had over 600 receiving yards in each of his two seasons.
