 Man, my god, Marlon Humphrey got high praise, but he got a little sneak this in the process, but let's see if it was warranted. Team keep it clean. What's going on? I love y'all. Make sure you subscribe to the channel, turn your notifications on. We, even though this the slow season, it's a slow period of football, we still having a lot of fun over here. And I hope y'all are too. I appreciate y'all watching the videos. I appreciate y'all supporting the channel. I just appreciate everything that you all do, the love that y'all show on a daily basis. And literally every single day, I thank you all for that. And y'all keep doing what you've been doing. It's very much appreciated. And it does not go unnoticed. And something else that didn't go unnoticed was somebody throwing in a little shot at our god Marlon Humphrey. I was looking on ESPN plus and they did a, they compiled a list. Y'all know it's list season of the top 10 cornerbacks heading into this 2023 NFL season. And just to get straight into it, let's just get into the list. Number one, they got Pat Sartan in the second from the Denver Broncos. He, when Pat Sartan first got drafted, that gave me a realization of like, wow, you are really getting old. Because I remember watching his father play for the Dolphins. It was Pat Sartan, it was Brock Merriam for the Miami Dolphins. There was another cornerback that they had too. That was around when they had Chris Chambers at Y Receiver and some other guys too. But J.Fila was a quarterback. I think that was when Ricky Wayne was, anyway, when, I'm like, they really drafted his son. His son is in the NFL. Now it was just, it was crazy, man. But anyway, they got Pat Sartan in second from the Denver Broncos, it's number one. Then getting number two, Sauce Gardner from the Jets. You know, he was gonna be super high on this list. He came out his rookie season. He had very high expectations after being a monster in Cincinnati in college. And then everything transferred to the NFL. So he lived up to expectations. Number three, Jalen Ramsey. Speaking of one of the other Miami Dolphins, Jalen Ramsey, who is on his third NFL team. And he been doing it, getting his bread. You can call Jalen Ramsey a lot of things, but you can never call him Brock. You can never call him not a businessman, because that man has had success on the teams that he went to, individual success. Then he went to the Rams and had team success. And now he's on the Dolphins. Like he done done what he needed to do. He got a Super Bowl. He got a Super Bowl ring. And you can never take that away from him. No matter what happens from this point in his career on, he got a Super Bowl. So now it's just accolades from this point, unless you get another one. Not with the Dolphin though. Raven's gotta get the one this year. Then after that, you can worry about it later. But anyway, number four, Jair Alexander from the Green Bay Packers. And this is somebody, I don't know what happened to my voice. A lot of Ravens fans wanted Ravens to trade for him. Especially when there was like a lot of uncertainty in the cornerback position. But anyway, Jair Alexander. Number five is Darius Slay from the Philadelphia Eagles. Now this is somebody who the Ravens almost traded for. They almost grabbed him. So we remember that story and that was crazy. It seemed like it was just a little rumor going around, but it actually was true. And we heard it directly from Darius Slay. Now number seven, excuse me, number six. Number five with Darius Slay. Number six is Marlon Humphrey. Marlon Humphrey is going into this season, ranked the sixth best corner in the NFL. Got no problem with that. Marlon Humphrey, he been doing this thing. I have continued to gain more and more respect for Marlon Humphrey's game over the years. Just how consistent he's been. Yeah, he does have his hiccups here and there, but everybody does, especially at the cornerback position. The cornerback is a position. I remember Richard Sherman explained it beautifully. He said it's a position where you could be playing a phenomenal game. You could be having a great game. Then all it takes is one or two plays and fans and people will think you played horribly. If you give a one or two big plays, that's all that they'll remember. They won't remember the good stuff, but they'll remember all the bad. And I was like, oh yeah, that does make a lot of sense. But anyway, let's read the breakdown of how they ranked Marlon Humphrey and how they threw that little shot in at the end. So anyway, it says his highest ranking was number one. His lowest ranking was unranked. He's 26 years old. Last year, he was ranked number seven. So Humphrey pushed for the top five this year after a Pro Bowl campaign in 2022 and a stronger performance than for his standards the previous year. He ranked number two in our 2021 list and is still considered elite. Agree, that's true. Facts, we get, that's all right. If you've been involved in AFC North, you have a deep appreciation for Humphrey's game. An NFL personnel executive said, ultimate competitor and can do a little bit of everything. And yes, Raven's fans have learned that out the hard way because he was drafted as an outside corner. He was drafted in the days of Brandon Carr and Jimmy Smith and Eric Weddle and them. But then over the years, due to injuries, Tavon Young was, I'll remember him, he was the Raven's primary slot cornerback. But he had dealt with injuries over the years and then they would kick Marlon Humphrey on the inside a lot. And Marlon Humphrey did really good there. He did really good there. And he's continued to show like the versatility he does really good as a slot corner. He does really good as an outside corner. He does a great job of both. So Marlon Humphrey has really established himself as one of the better cornerbacks in the NFL. One thing of Marlon Humphrey's game, at least in my opinion, Marlon Humphrey is a very physical cornerback. He's a cornerback that plays the receiver, doesn't play the ball. So if you're looking for a bunch of interceptions, Marlon Humphrey is not your guy. If you're looking for pass breakups, that's your guy. If you're looking for the receiver not to have many completions, Marlon Humphrey is your guy. If you're looking for some false fumbles every now and then, Marlon Humphrey is your guy. So he plays very physical on the wide receivers. He does not play the ball. That's not his thing. But Marlon Humphrey is a physical corner. I remember his rookie year. Rookie year when they first drafted him. Remember when he wore number 29? It seems like that's so long ago, right? When he wore number 29, his rookie year when they drafted him. I remember they were playing in the preseason. And I was like, y'all know, I don't watch college at all. But one of my guys was telling me about Marlon Humphrey. I'm like, okay, cool. And a lot of the stuff that my guy told me that he's a big Bama fan, all of that stuff still stands. He said Marlon Humphrey is very physical. Cornerback, not gonna get a lot of interceptions. And he said he has trouble tracking the deep ball sometimes. And he's definitely improved over that over the years. But with Marlon Humphrey in his rookie year in the preseason, I watched him lay a hit on somebody. And I was like, oh, okay now. This dude physical like that. Like he ain't afraid to tackle. Cause this was some cornerbacks. They could play corner, they could cover, but tackling is not their thing. With Marlon Humphrey it is. And very physical, not afraid. He'll step up, make that tackle, make that hit. And Marlon Humphrey also, what we learned over the years too, with the creative ways that he's been used, he can blitz too. He's a good blitzer as well. So they'll have him in the slot sometimes. They'll have him blitzed from the outside too sometimes, but they'll switch it up, but he can get it done. So shout out to Marlon Humphrey. But anyway, continuing. He says Humphrey's three interceptions last year tied for the most in a season for his career. He made his third pro bowl in four years and added five pressures and two fumble recoveries. He can flip the field with his ability to pop the ball out with 13 fourths fumble since 2017. So he has some nice statistics right there by our guy Marlon Humphrey. But with all that praise that he just got, I guess this executive, whoever it was, oh this scout. They say, you know what? No, no, no, no, no, no. We praise him Marlon Humphrey a little bit too much. We gotta bring this guy back down the earth. He said, he holds a lot. He holds a lot, but he's a really good player. And AFC scout said. So they had to throw in that little jab at Marlon Humphrey real quick, but at the same time, it is true. Marlon Humphrey, I think Marlon Humphrey is just an emotional guy. And I think he's a feeler. So sometimes he just wants and needs a hug. And sometimes he just wants and needs a hug while they're out there on the field playing. So he goes and grabs and wants a receiver and he does that. So Marlon Humphrey, I get it man. Sometimes we all need a hug, but sometimes the timing of those hugs is during the plays and yeah, but anyway yeah. Marlon Humphrey is still a very, very good corner. And I would say an elite corner as well. He's definitely proven himself in this league. He has lived up to being a first round draft pick. He's lived up to the big contract that the Baltimore Ravens gave him a couple years back. And Marlon Humphrey, he's like that man. He really is like that. You know what you're gonna get from him. You know, again, there's gonna be hiccups, but there's hiccups with every single player. But with Marlon Humphrey, he has established himself as one of the best cornerbacks in the league. Oh, let's finish out this top 10 list though. Number seven is Marseille Lattimore from the Saints. Number eight is Trayvon Diggs from the Cowboy. Well, you know, he get like a million picks every season. So I think that's why. Number nine is Denzel Ward from the Cleveland Browns. And number 10 is AJ Terrell from the Falcons. So that rounds out the top 10 list. Get some honorable mentions in here. Xavier and Howard from the Dolphins. J.C. Horn from the Panthers. Tariq Wollin from the Seahawks. Tredavious White from the Bills. And Lagerius Need from the Chiefs. So yeah, that will be your list. So again, y'all know, I love these lists. I love talking about it. I love hearing the breakdowns, especially about Ravens players, how these people feel about different Ravens players that are on or off these lists. And it's a good time. But anyway, team keeping clean. I love y'all, I appreciate y'all. And until the next list, we out.
