02Scheme fit
Ideal system

Cover-3 match and other zone-heavy schemes, particularly ones that value physical corners who can reroute receivers and support the run.

Boundary CBField CBPress-man CB
Best role

Immediate starter as a boundary corner, with the ceiling to be a Pro Bowl caliber defender capable of shadowing top receivers.

Wrong fit

Schemes requiring extensive off-man coverage or solely relying on smaller, quicker corners without physical contact.

A scheme that prioritizes physicality, tackling, and zone instincts aligns perfectly with Humphrey's strengths, allowing him to thrive early in his career and reach his high ceiling.

04The evaluation

Selected #16 overall in Round 1 of the 2017 NFL Draft by Baltimore Ravens out of Alabama.
