1. Cornerback Marlon Humphrey

Marlon Humphery was one of the better rookie cornerbacks last year but only had five starts as he replaced Jimmy Smith went he went down with a season-ending injury.

Many were unsure how the former first-round pick would pan out but so far, it was well worth it as the Ravens made sure to stack depth in the cornerback group especially due to injuries that impacted the secondary negatively in years prior.

When Smith and Humphrey were on the field, with Brandon Carr in the rotation, it made up one of the better cornerback duos in the league as Humphrey let up the 2nd lowest passer rating among rookie cornerbacks when targeted (according to Pro Football Focus).

Marlon Humphrey had only two picks but had 11 pass deflections and with limited snaps, Humphrey is a prime candidate to break out in 2018.
