Humphrey was drafted by the Baltimore Ravens with the 17th overall pick of the 2017 NFL Draft out of the University of Alabama. Humphrey was touted as one of the best all-around corners in the draft, with quick feet, a physical style of play, and the speed to keep up with top wide receivers in the NFL.
Humphrey played in all 16 games for the Baltimore Ravens during the 2017 season and started in five of them, finishing the year with 30 tackles, 11 pass deflections, and two interceptions.
Humphrey also filled in for Baltimore Ravens star cornerback Jimmy Smith after Smith was lost for the season after suffering an Achilles injury in the Ravens’ Week 13 game against the Detroit Lions. While Smith was out, Humphrey filled in mostly on the right side while Brandon Carr continued to play on the left.
