Humphrey, a first-round selection in the 2017 NFL Draft by the Baltimore Ravens, finished his sixth season with 71 tackles, three sacks (career high), a forced fumble, two fumble recoveries, three interceptions, and seven passes defended. The 6-foot, 197-pounder enters his seventh season as a cornerback for the Ravens. He has become the leader of the defense and a marquee face within the organization. Humphrey is one of the league’s best cornerbacks, and his peers know it. He has a knack for making significant plays at the right time. A native of Hoover, Ala., Humphrey carried this trait from high school to the pros.
