5. player. 30. Marlon Humphrey has every trait a cornerback would need to thrive in the NFL today. At 6’0″, 200 pounds, he has the size length and strength to deal with the big receivers of today’s NFL. And at the same time, Humphrey is one of the best overall athletes in all of college football. <p>In high school, he won the 100 meter and 400 meter hurdles at the World Youth Track and Field Championships. He has also run a little track while at Alabama, contributing to their 4×400 relay team. And yes, that track speed has translates very well to playing football for him.</p> <p>With that straight-line speed, he has great feet, changes direction well and fluid hips to turn and run. Humphrey also uses his size and strength well in press coverage and is aggressive in the running game. So the New York Jets are happy to draft him here with the No. 5 overall pick.</p> <p>The Sun is definitely setting on the great career of Darrelle Revis and the Jets are a man coverage team. Revis has too much money left on his contract not to come back for one more year in the NFL. So Humphrey will make an immediate impact and learn from one of the best ever at the same time.</p>. CB. Alabama. Marlon Humphrey
