Marlon Humphrey took a huge step forward for the Baltimore Ravens and has us wanting more. What grade did he earn himself for his 2018 performance?
The 2018 edition of the Baltimore Ravens defense had a slight skid midway through the season, but ended as one of the top-ranked units throughout the entire NFL. Thanks in large part to the play of many, Ravens second-year cornerback Marlon Humphrey was the star of the show that no one talked about.
In 14 games, Humphrey managed 15 pass break-ups to go with two interceptions and finished as one of Pro Football Focus’ top-ranked cornerbacks. Humphrey was a menace for opposing teams all season long and was by-far the biggest reason the Ravens finished fifth in the NFL in passing yards allowed per game in 2018. Simply put, Humphrey had an alpha-dog mentality all year long and proved his worth week-in and week-out.
So, how did he grade out in 2018? A lackluster stat-sheet may get casual fans bummed out, but Marlon Humphrey’s excellent play on tape would beg to differ. Therefore…
It was hard not to give Marlon Humphrey an A for his season, but being objective about it, there were certainly instances where he could’ve been better. Regardless, Humphrey is trending up and Ravens Flock should get excited about his potential.
