It is extremely rare to see a cornerback lead the NFL in a statistical category that is usually dominated by edge rushers, off-ball linebackers, and interior down linemen. However, that is exactly what Baltimore Ravens’ All-Pro corner Marlon Humphrey did last season. His league-leading eight forced fumbles were two more than the next closest player — Haason Reddick — and four more than the 2020 Defensive Player of the Year, Aaron Donald.
A cornerback leading the league in forced fumbles is almost as inconceivably comparable as a defensive end leading the league, or even ranking in the Top-5 in interceptions.
