'91 Guys Better Me?' Ravens Humphrey Comments on NFL Top 100

Baltimore Ravens Marlon Humphrey had the opportunity to comment on his NFL Top 100 ranking after the first day of training camp on Wednesday and explained how his coaches are using it as motivation.

Baltimore Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey was recently named to the NFL Top 100 Players List for the third time in his career - but he does not appear to be completely satisfied with his ranking.

Humphrey was left off the list a year ago but was voted the No. 92 player in the league by his peers entering the 2023 season. The former first-round pick had the opportunity to comment on his ranking after the first day of training camp on Wednesday and explained how his coaches are using it as motivation.

"Coaches asked me today if there were 91 guys better than me," Humphrey told BaltimoreRavens.com. "We'll see."

In 2022, Humphrey recorded three interceptions, seven pass breakups, 71 total tackles, three sacks, and one forced fumble while allowing zero touchdowns in coverage. The three-time Pro Bowler knows he can always improve his game, however, and discussed what he has been working on during camp.

"I want to get back to winning in press man," Humphrey said. "Winning in the first five yards I should say. I think I can stop and run with anybody, but I want to make my job a lot easier at the line of scrimmage."

Humphrey continued that Baltimore's revamped receiving corps has helped him hone his craft.

"I'm trying to get in front of Zay [Flowers], Odell [Beckham Jr.], [Rashod] Bateman, [James] Proshe, and [Devin] Duvernay," Humphrey said. "Trying to get in front of these guys and get hands on them. I really want to try to make these guys better, by also making myself better as well."

Iron sharpens iron and this type of competitive atmosphere will only make both sides of the ball better. 

"I want the hardest corner any of our wide receivers to see is me, Rock [Ya-Sin], and the guys we have at corner," Humphrey said. "That's the biggest thing. I'm trying to lead that room, and everybody follow up."
