CB Marlon Humphrey
Humphrey has quietly been having a top season for a cornerback. He hasn’t drawn quite the same level of praise as top cornerbacks like Darrell Revis or Richard Sherman have in the past, but he’s having an equally impressive year.
Throughout the season, Baltimore has placed Humphrey on the best receivers each team has. And he’s shut them down. Names like Odell Beckham Jr. and Julian Edelman have crossed paths with Humphrey this season and not fared well.
Humphrey might not have the stats that jump out to many thanks to just not being targeted very often this season. But Humphrey has made key plays when the Ravens needed them. A pivotal forced fumble against the Pittsburgh Steelers helped Baltimore win in Week 5. The same happened against the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots.
For as good as the Ravens’ defense has been this season, Humphrey has been the unquestionable star on it from Week 1 until now.
