During cornerback Marlon Humphrey’s six years with the Baltimore Ravens, the NFL team has compiled a 62-36 regular-season record. But the Ravens have a 1-4 postseason mark during that span.

Humphrey wants more than regular-season success in Baltimore, and as the Ravens concluded their offseason program and headed into their summer break on Thursday, the former Hoover High School and Alabama standout had something to say to his teammates.

“Just to win a Super Bowl, you’ve got to put a lot of time and effort in,” Humphrey said. “And I think, while we got in some good work — OTAs, minicamp — you’ve got this big break. Whether you want to hang out with your dog a lot, want to hang out with your girl a lot, want to hang out with this, try to do as much of that as you can, because when we come back, we want everybody to be putting in as much time into football as you can. …

“Being in the NFL, it’s a very short span compared to the rest of your life, so I know that’s one of the things that I plan on making different in this season — putting as much time as I can, (more) than I ever have before, so, I think, if we can all echo that, be on the same, one accord, I think special things can happen with this team.”

Ravens coach John Harbaugh said he thought Humphrey had the right message at the right time.

“This is the end of this part of it, and then we’ll start the next part of it when the guys get back,” Harbaugh said. “This interim time is some time that they need to, like Marlon talked to the guys about right now, think about what you want to accomplish this year and what you need, whatever it might be. Everybody has somewhat of a different motivation. Whatever that thing is, think about it and think about how you’re going to get that accomplished.

“I thought that was a great message to everybody going forward.”

Humphrey returns to the Ravens after earning Pro Bowl recognition for the third time in four seasons. To last year’s 10-7 team, Baltimore added wide receivers Odell Beckham Jr. in free agency and Zay Flowers in the first round of the NFL Draft and signed quarterback Lamar Jackson to a five-year, $260 million contract extension.

“You pay the best quarterback in the league, you get Odell, you put all these pieces together,” Humphrey said. “The talent is there. It’s just putting it all together, so I’ve been very pleased with the front office, what they’ve done this offseason, so that’s the biggest thing. That was the whole point of my message: Let’s not waste this window. We all know windows open, and they close very quickly, so let’s not waste this opportunity because we’ve got a really good opportunity in front of us.”

Humphrey found it odd to realize that he’d ascended to a leadership position on the team when it seemed as though he was just a first-round rookie.

“It’s definitely come full circle,” Humphrey said. “When I first got here, I had (Terrell Suggs), (Eric) Weddle, (Brandon Carr), Jimmy (Smith). I honestly didn’t see it then because there were just so many guys that were those leaders for me that I still look up to, guys that just put so much in my ear. But the last year or two, you start realizing you’re telling stories that nobody else was here (for) other than you.

“You feel like a young guy, and then you realize you’re not a young guy. You’ve got guys coming up: ‘Man, I watched you in high school.’ And I’m like: ‘OK, like what are you trying to say?’ So you kind of just realize it’s kind of your time to do that now, and I think being here for so long and getting a second deal, I think that was something that kind of was the unwritten thing that they expected me to do. …

“It’s a challenge with these young guys sometimes, but it’s kind of my duty to do that, so I just try to do the best I can.”

Humphrey’s father, Bobby Humphrey, also was an Alabama All-American who became a Pro Bowler in the NFL. Like his son, Bobby Humphrey played in five NFL postseason games, including Super Bowl XXIV. A running back, Humphrey had 61 yards on 12 rushing attempts and 38 yards on three receptions, but the Denver Broncos lost to the San Francisco 49ers 55-10 on Jan. 28, 1990.

“It’s always really accomplishing to feel like you’re one of the best in the league,” Marlon Humphrey said about his goals for the 2023 season, “and I feel that we all know it’s a passing league. It’s a passing league, so if you can defend the pass, you’re going to have a pretty good chance, so, for me, I know if I can play my best football we have a really good chance at winning football games, so that’s the biggest thing for me.

“My dad … played in that Super Bowl. I don’t know how bad they lost, but it was pretty bad, so I’m trying to do that – trying to get out of those footsteps – but be on the other side, celebrating. Individual accomplishments are great. But, for me, I just want to be able to play my best football to give our team the best chance at winning.”
