The pick-off artist in Alabama’s secondary last season was Minkah Fitzpatrick, who had six interceptions, but Marlon Humphrey knows a thing or two about getting his hands on passes meant for the opposing team.
Humphrey, who had two interceptions last season and five in his career, went No. 16 overall in this spring’s NFL Draft. The Baltimore Ravens were looking to upgrade their secondary with Humphrey, and he gave them a preview of just how he can do that.
The Ravens shared a clip of a Humphrey interception during training camp on Twitter Friday.

It was a case of SEC-on-SEC crime as Humphrey picked off former Arkansas QB Ryan Mallet. The Ravens hope he can do the same to AFC North quarterbacks like Ben Roethlisberger and Andy Dalton.
