Ravens rookie could unlock the best version of Marlon Humphrey

There's a reasonable argument that can be made. It supports the theory that the Baltimore Ravens probably aren’t moving on from Marlon Humphrey. Let’s state that before we continue or say anything else.

Recently, following the rookie minicamp, Ravens Wire listed Humphrey among Baltimore’s safest roster locks . Honestly, that shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. He remains one of the franchise’s emotional leaders and one of the defense’s smartest players.

When healthy, still one of football’s more underrated defensive backs. There is, however, one noticeable flaw in his game. It's impossible to ignore the challenges he faced while playing in the slot last season.
