The Baltimore Ravens have one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL in Marlon Humphrey. The former University of Alabama star has established himself as a player who can line up both on the outside and in the slot, which is an extremely valuable skill set.

When ranking his top five cornerbacks in the league on the “Million Dollaz Worth of Game” show, Los Angeles Rams cornerback Jalen Ramsey listed off great player after great player, but omitted Humphrey from his list.

Over the course of his first four seasons, Humphrey has accumulated 218 total tackles, 11 forced fumbles, 8 interceptions, and three fumble recoveries. He always seems to be around the ball, and his “Fruit Punch” nickname speaks to his style of play, as he’s extremely physical and has mastered the punchout technique.

There are plenty of talented cornerbacks in the NFL, and Humphrey is one of the best. Ramsey didn’t list Humphrey in his top-five, but many make the case that he is indeed one of the best five cornerbacks in football. The fifth-year defensive back will look to continue his dominant play and potentially even make his third-straight Pro Bowl in 2021, adding to an already impressive career.

The Ravens were reportedly interested in Ramsey during the 2016 draft, and also when he demanded a trade as a member of the Jacksonville Jaguars. However, Baltimore decided to trade for cornerback Marcus Peters instead.
