In the 2019 NFL draft, Brown was chosen with the 25th overall pick by the Baltimore Ravens. He made his regular-season debut in Week 1 against the Miami Dolphins, recording 147 receiving yards with four receptions and two touchdowns. This made Brown the first NFL player ever to score two touchdowns of 40 yards or more in his debut game. Later, in Week 12 against the Los Angeles Rams, he caught five passes for 42 yards and two touchdowns in a huge 45-6 victory. In Week 15, Brown caught his seventh touchdown of the season, tying the Ravens franchise record for most receiving touchdowns by a rookie.
