Marquise Brown Siblings: Is the WR Related to Antonio Brown? Meet Elder Sister Shanice Brown

Talented yet controversial Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ former WR, Antonio Brown is once again in the news. However, this time, he is making headlines because of his siblings. Brown belongs to a family of athletes, where he now surpasses his playing ability to his brother Marquise Brown.

Antonio’s father, Eddie Brown, was a star in the Arena Football League, and his brother, Desmond Brown, is Pittsburgh Panthers running back. The other Browns in the family, especially Marquise, are currently under spotlight, along with his elder sister Shanice Brown. Let’s delve into the siblings’ background!

How is Antonio Brown connected to Marquise Brown?

Marquise Brown, the talented wide receiver from Oklahoma, comes from a family with a strong football connection. His elder cousin is the renowned WR Antonio Brown. Antonio and Marquise share a great bond. Antonio also served as his mentor, guiding him as he entered the NFL draft in 2019. Highlighting about his parents, Marquise’s father, Edwin Brown’s, details aren’t made public. However, his mother Shannon James, raised Marquise and his sister, Shanice Brown, on her own with the help of her parents.

His elder sister Shanice showed her constant support for him as well. In one of an early interview, she reflected on Marquise’s determination, especially during his time at the College of the Canyons in California, where she supported him by sending money to help him pursue his dreams despite facing challenges. Shanice said in an interview with OU Daily, “It makes me cry sometimes when I think about it. He’s an inspiration to me because sometimes you may have dreams that you think are too big or have roadblocks keeping you from your dreams, and most people would give up. But he didn’t.”

The family’s united efforts and determination helped Marquise to get drafted in 2019 with the Ravens, and currently, Marquise Brown is the wide receiver for Arizona Cardinals. However, now as he is set to become a free agent, fans are awaiting Cardinals’ next move.

Will Marquise Brown stay with the Arizona Cardinals?

The Cardinals are openly expressing their desire to have Marquise Brown on their team for the 2024 season. Head coach Jonathan Gannon in a press conference held at the end of the season, stated that they had positive discussions with Brown and want him to return, anticipating him to be a key player of the team. However, the financial aspects of the NFL also play a role, and as Brown seeks a significant contract (4 year, $11,787,340), the Cardinals may face challenges in retaining him as they enter the next phase of their rebuilding process.

According to NFL experts, if not re-signed, the potential interest in Brown will be particularly from the Denver Broncos and Tennessee Titans. The Broncos, already equipped with receivers like Courtland Sutton and Jerry Jeudy, see Brown as a proven separator with yards-after-catch ability. On the other hand, the Titans, with DeAndre Hopkins and Treylon Burks, view Brown as a dynamic addition to a passing game in need of support, especially considering Hopkins’ contract situation.

All in all, currently Marquise Brown is waiting for future decisions by the Cardinals and other available teams.
