The Baltimore Ravens drafted cornerback Marlon Humphrey in the first round of the 2017 NFL draft. The former Alabama star has since become one of the best defensive backs in the league, although his 2023 season was a struggle based on injuries suffered.
Humphrey was asked if he’d slimmed down for the upcoming season, to which he went into detail about his body transformation. He said it was by design, and he got himself to a lower weight based on how he had played and felt years prior.
“Yes, I slimmed down a little bit. It was kind of by design. I looked at the past, I looked at my better seasons, and I was a little bit lighter those years, so I decided to get around a little bit lower of a weight. I’ve been feeling [and] moving pretty well at it, so we’ll kind of see how it wiggles around with training camp. I’ve really been talking advantage of Sarah [Snyder], our [director of sports nutrition]. I’ve been really trying to lean on the resources the Ravens offer, do things the right way instead of my usual, which is just don’t eat – which is not the best route – so I’ve really, really been trying to slim up a little bit and go with the plan that she’s put out for me.”
Humphrey mentioned how he’s trying to lean on the team’s training and nutrition resources. With a better diet and lighter frame, the veteran should be able to find the fountain of youth this season and have a much better year than last.
