WATCH: Marlon Humphrey gets emotional during Ravens’ press conference

On Thursday, Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey signed a five-year, $98.75 million extension according to Adam Schefter.

During a press conference following the news of his extension, Humphrey got emotional while sharing about his upbringing, and how he had people in his life who encouraged him during high school to keep on the right path:

“I remember when I was in high school, one of my coaches told me, ‘Man, you know, if you just continue to do what you do, use the abilities you have and stay out of trouble, in a few years you could hit the lottery. And I put that in my Twitter bio, and I kept it in there the entire time, just because it was crazy that at such a young age he had that confidence in me, that one day … Basically saying, ‘If you just keep your skillset and just stay out of trouble, you can do some big things.’ So, thank God, for sure. I wouldn’t be here without him.”

But when Marlon began talking about his Dad, Humphrey started choking up, and became emotional.

"My dad has kept me in line. He never let me slip." 💜

“Growing up, in my house, any time I needed someone to lean on, I had an older brother, older sister and a mom and a dad who have always kept me really good aligned. Honestly, my dad … My dad; he’s kind of been able to be … My dad, even at a young age, he’s really … My dad has kept me in line. Since I was young, I told my dad I wanted to play in the NFL, and he never really let me slip. Getting in trouble here and there as a ‘youngin,’ my dad never just kept his foot off me. Decisions, things I wanted to do, he was able to tell me, ‘No,’ and didn’t really share explanations. But as I grew older, I was able to understand so much as to why he did those things. And my dad has been so much more than a father; he coached me as a kid. He’s actually been my everything for me, along with my mom. And so, I really thank him a lot for what he’s done, and I know he’ll continue to be a great father to me. And hopefully one day, [when] I get a family, I can treat my sons and my daughters the way my dad has treated me and my brothers and sisters.”

Marlon, who has become a huge defensive asset for the Ravens, had his fifth year option picked up by the Ravens in April.

Humphrey was drafted by the Baltimore Ravens as the 16th overall pick of the 2017 NFL Draft.

Humphrey finished his career at Alabama with 81 tackles, 13 deflected passes, 5 interceptions, 3 forced fumbles and 1 TD.

Last season for the Ravens, Humphrey became a huge defensive asset for the Ravens.
