Nine straight years with at least 5 PDs and 20 tackles for the Ravens — and now back to 15+13 PDs over 2024-25 after a mid-career dip (2022-23). The career shape is strong start (2018-21), brief slump (22-23), full resurgence (24-25).
8 forced fumbles in 2020 — 2nd-most by any DB in a single season since 1999.

| Player | Year | FFs |
|---|---|---|
| Charles Tillman | 2012 | 10 |
| Marlon Humphrey | 2020 | 8 |
| Josh Norman | 2021 | 7 |
| Roman Harper | 2010 | 6 |
| Antoine Winfield Jr. | 2023 | 6 |
His 2020 FF total (8) is the second-best season by any DB in the database — only Charles Tillman's legendary 2012 "Peanut Punch" year (10) is ahead. Humphrey had 2 FFs in back-to-back weeks (Week 12 vs PIT and Week 14 vs CLE) — that's the punch-the-ball-out signature game stretch of his career.
105 career PDs, 17 career FFs — the rare CB who breaks up *and* strips the football at volume.
MilestoneHumphrey career totals through 2025
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Career PDs | 105 |
| Career tackles | 389 |
| Career FFs | 17 |
| Career FRs | 6 |
| Career TFL | 24 |
| Career INTs (via PD trail) | 24 |
Across 9 seasons: 105 PDs, 17 FFs, ~24 INTs. The combined ball-disruption (PDs + FFs + INTs) puts him near 146 — a tier shared with only a handful of CBs in the modern era. He's also a 4-time Pro Bowler.
He plays more like a slot/safety hybrid than a traditional outside CB — and the tackle volume proves it.
SplitCareer tackles per game — top CBs compared
| Player | Career PDs | Career Tackles | Style |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marlon Humphrey | 105 | 389 | Hybrid (slot/outside) |
| Denzel Ward | 104 | 273 | Outside shutdown |
| Tre'Davious White | 85 | 273 | Outside |
| Stephon Gilmore | 149 | 478 | Outside (taller sample) |
His 389 career tackles are 116 more than Denzel Ward's despite a comparable PD count — because for years the Ravens used him as a Swiss-army defender, moving him to the slot or even safety in heavy-nickel packages. The tackle volume jumped to 71 in 2020 and 50 in 2019 when he was logging the most slot snaps.
28 PDs across 2024-25 — tied 4th in NFL during the late-career resurgence.

| T-4 | Denzel Ward | 28 |
At age 29 he's still tied for 4th in the NFL in PDs over the last two regular seasons — the only CB in the top 5 over 28 years old. The 2024 PFF AP-1 selection was earned by the 15-PD, 6-INT, 2-FF stat line — peak-veteran-Humphrey territory.
6 INTs in 2024 was his career single-season high — at age 28, year 8.

For seven years he hovered between 1 and 3 INTs per season. Then 2024 produced 6 — a career single-season high in year 8, the same year he was selected AP-1. Most CBs lose ball skills in their late 20s; Humphrey added them.
