Watch: Marlon Humphrey Shows His Freakish Athleticism On Sports Science

Speed is one of the major tools, and it's in Humphrey's DNA.

Humphrey’s father, Bobby, was a star running back at Alabama and first-round supplemental pick of the Denver Broncos in 1989.

Humphrey’s mother, Barbara, still holds the school record in the 400-meter dash at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). She coached her son in middle school, and he eventually became a track star himself.

The summer before his senior year at Hoover High School in Alabama, Humphrey was just 0.12 seconds shy of becoming the world’s best 110-meter hurdler among 17-year-olds and younger.
