Baltimore Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey got a game day experience that he wasn't used to in Week 1.
In this story:

Baltimore Ravens star cornerback Marlon Humphrey was unavailable for their Week 1 25-9 win over the Houston Texans, but he still enjoyed the atmosphere at M&T Bank Stadium. 

"I liked the vibe yesterday," Humphrey said via Punch Line after the game. "I felt the anxiousness of the fanbase for this year. I took a lap around the stadium yesterday. I got a lot of looks, only one lady stopped me. Everyone just goes like 'Is that Marlon Humphrey?'"

Humphrey, a three-time Pro Bowler, missed the game due to a foot injury that he had surgery on. He was expected to miss the first couple of games to start the season due to the injury that he suffered in the offseason. 

Humphrey joined the Ravens out of Alabama as the No. 16 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, and was named first-team All-Pro in 2019.

The 27-year-old cornerback has had a stellar career so far with the Ravens, reaching marks that only other Baltimore legends have. In six seasons with the Ravens, Humphrey has recorded 12 interceptions, 13 forced fumbles, 71 passes defended, 15 tackles for loss and 5.5 sacks. 

He has already reached 10+ forced fumbles and 10+ interceptions in his young Baltimore career, numbers that have only been reached by Hall of Famers and Ravens legends Ed Reed and Ray Lewis. 

Baltimore's next game will be Sunday at 1 p.m. ET against Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals. It's unclear yet when Humphrey will be cleared to return to play for the Ravens.
