Marlon Humphrey knows all about legacies. He followed in his father’s footsteps at the University of Alabama, and now he follows in some impressive footsteps as the newest high-profile member of the Ravens defense.
Humphrey, the former Alabama cornerback and the Ravens first-round pick, said he knows all about the Ravens’ defensive tradition, including Ray Lewis and Ed Reed and Terrell Suggs and former Crimson Tide linebacker C.J. Mosley.
"That is what I thought about last night when I got picked by the Ravens," said Humphrey as he met with the media at the Ravens Under Armour Performance Center in Owings Mills less than 24 hours after the Ravens made him the No. 16 overall pick. "When I think of the Ravens, those are the guys I think about – those tough-nosed guys. It is definitely a blessing to be asked to be a part of that, a part of that legacy and a part of this team."
