The coronavirus has made athletes all over the world come up with clever ways to stay in shape. Whether it’s doing a workout in a home gym, in a park, or in a parking lot, people are doing whatever they can to stay in shape. Although some states have started opening back up, including opening up gyms, some athletes are still forced to workout from home. Former Alabama cornerback Marlon Humphrey decided to climb a gravel mountain for his workout, and it looks tough.

I have tried this myself before, and it’s a LOT harder than it looks. Not only is it exhausting, but when you start slowing down, you start sinking and sliding very quickly. So it ends up being a very intense sprint up the gravel.
Marlon, who was drafted by the Baltimore Ravens as the 16th overall pick of the 2017 NFL Draft, has become a huge part of the Ravens’ defensive success.
Humphrey was recently a guest of Mike Locksley’s instagram live show called “Late Night with Locks,” where he shared how he’s adapted to being home during the coronavirus:
“For me, I’ve been outside a lot. Being in the house for so long, so I’ve been working out a little more than usual. Running some miles. I’ve been doing a lot of different stuff outside. I’m trying to learn Spanish. I cooked dinner for the fam the other night. For me, being that my whole family came back – I’ve got two brothers, two sisters – and really, man, it’s been some great family time. It seems like I’m back in middle school again. My oldest brother’s at the house, and my oldest sister, and we haven’t had the whole family back together for this long since I was a kid. Just being around my big bro, big sis, little bro, little sis is really good, so it’s been a lot of good family time, trying to learn some new stuff with this Spanish and working out as usual.”
There’s no doubt that Humphrey will be eager to get back on the field, and in the team gym, as soon as he can.
Humphrey finished his career at Alabama with 81 tackles, 13 deflected passes, 5 interceptions, 3 forced fumbles and 1 TD.
For the Ravens, he has recorded 136 tackles, 41 deflected passes, 7 interceptions, 3 forced fumbles, and 3 fumble recoveries.
