Everyone wants to see football in the fall, but none more than collegiate and professional athletes.  

While the practice of social distancing may seem boring to some, it is one of few ways to stop COVID-19 from spreading. With 24-hour curfews being instituted, Marlon Humphrey is one of many players in the National Football League encouraging people toward social distancing. 

After an incredible third season in the league, Humphrey wants to continue being great. 

He earned first-team All-Pro honors in 2019, following a year where he had 65 tackles, a team-high 14 pass breakups, three interceptions, two forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries and two touchdowns for the Baltimore Ravens.

Humphrey, a former five-star at Alabama, assisted the team to having one of the league’s best defense – pacing its 14-2 record and No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs. He was selected in the first-round (No. 16 overall) of the 2017 NFL Draft.

Humphrey was on two Southeastern Conference title teams (2014, 2016) at Alabama and a College Football Playoff title squad in 2015.

He wants a return to football and the best way to do it is having everyone follow protocol.
