Marquez Valdes-Scantling was drafted by the Green Bay Packers with the 174th overall pick in the fifth round of the 2018 NFL Draft. He would spend his first four years in the league playing for the Green and Gold. During those four years, he averaged 15 games played per season, starting just shy of 10. He also averaged over 30 receptions, 538 receiving yards, and just over three touchdowns per year.
Following the 2021 season, he tested free agency, which paid off big time. The Kansas City Chiefs would sign him to a massive three-year $30 million dollar contract with $15 million guaranteed – an incredible payday for a former fifth-round pick.
In 2022, Marquez Valdes-Scantling recorded 42 receptions, 687 receiving yards, and three touchdowns. He also showed up big-time during the 2022-23 playoffs, recording seven receptions, 122 receiving yards, and two touchdowns in three games. He played a big role in the Chiefs' postseason run, helping them win Super Bowl LVII 38-35 against the Philadelphia Eagles on Feb. 12, 2023.
