Marlon Humphrey humbly welcomed Earl Thomas to Ravens

The championship mindset that was instilled in him at Alabama is coming out more as he will enter his third season in the National Football League in the fall.

If one looks at Pro Football Focus, the website deemed Marlon Humphrey of the Baltimore Ravens as one of the league’s best cornerbacks. He turned in a very good sophomore season, totaling 37 tackles, 15 pass breakups and two interceptions through 14 regular season games.

Both guys have the No. 29 in common; however, Humphrey was willing to relinquish the number to Thomas for the team. In a tweet he shared on Friday, he initially asked for money from Thomas but he instead chose to give the native Texan the number out of respect.
