Alabama NFL Roundup: Baker Mayfield can’t outrun Marlon Humphrey

Quarterback Baker Mayfield was traded from Cleveland when the Browns decided to bring Deshaun Watson in the offseason. But while Mayfield left the AFC North, the former No. 1 draft pick couldn’t get rid of Marlon Humphrey.

The Baltimore Ravens cornerback had two interceptions against Mayfield when they were divisional rivals.

Mayfield came to Baltimore with the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, and Humphrey picked him out again in the Ravens’ 13-3 win.

The interception was Humphrey’s second snack of the fourth quarter.

While Baltimore led 6-3, the former Hoover High School star recovered 8-14 after a fumble at Carolina’s 31-yard line, and the Ravens scored the only touchdown of the game three snaps later.

Humphrey got his third interception of the season and the 11th of his career at the Panthers’ 41-yard line with 3:28 left.

Humphrey also made two tackles in the game as Baltimore limited Carolina to 205 yards for their fourth straight win.

Humphrey was among 40 former Alabama players who took to the field on the 11th Sunday of the NFL’s 103rd season.
