Analysis
DEPTH CHARTS FEATURE - What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said before MARLON HUMPHREY made the Baltimore Ravens' depth chart: Alabama, 6002 197 4.42. Underclass entry from Hoover, AL. Two-year starter. Son of former first-round draft choice, running back Bobby Humphrey. Mother Barbara still holds the outdoor 400-meter record at Alabama- Birmingham. The younger Humphrey won seven Alabama state championship event titles during the indoor and outdoor track season in 2013. Has a rare blend of speed and physical aggression. Plays an enforcer role, especially in pursuit. Can turn his hips and run with downfield speed. Can close a gap downhill in a blink. Very quick twitched and explosive as a reaction player. Won’t over-commit, shows proper discipline and makes the effort to go through reads. Defends the run like a safety. Wrap up tackler who brings it. Attacks the ball when going after its carrier. Fiery, competitive, and intense. Stays focused and very tuned in. Can be a hair late when going after the ball in the air. Needs to work on timing, accuracy, and overall coordination when it comes to ball skills. Skill set needs more consistency. Will show imbalanced footwork and high hips at times. Trusts his physical talent more than he should. Can be beat deep as a result of it. Slow to locate and track the long ball. An overly aggressive, talent-filled cover corner who was among the best players on the best defense in the country. Humphrey is ready to start in the NFL week one and he won’t show an ounce of fear. An overly confident, overly aggressive defender. Needs to improve his consistency from a skill and technique perspective, however. Talent can only take you so far at cornerback. If he can learn to trust his footwork and track the ball better, he can be a star. 2016 stats: 36 T, 1 FF, 2 INT, 5 PBU. BTR:left 4.54, right 4.72. Medical exclusion at Combine, back. OSR:8/35. First round. (A-32 1/4, H-8 3/4, VJ-DNP, SS-DNP).
