The Baltimore Ravens don’t like to make a habit out of picking in the top 20 picks of the NFL Draft each year because it often means that they failed to reach the postseason the year before. However, when they do wind up picking in that range or even lower, they land a blue-chip prospect more often than not.
That’s exactly what they got when they selected Marlon Humphrey No. 16 overall out of the University of Alabama in 2017. Since coming into the league, he has blossomed into one of the best cornerbacks in the game and cemented himself as a franchise cornerstone as evidenced by the huge extension he signed last October.
