Ravens CB Marlon Humphrey shares first impressions of CB Rock Ya-Sin
The Baltimore Ravens signed cornerback Rock Ya-Sin to a one-year deal worth up to $6 million. He will slot in next to cornerback Marlon Humphrey, who in his own right is a top-five option at the position in the NFL.
Ya-Sin will give the Ravens a solid second option at cornerback, and his physical style of play will fit right in with what Baltimore wants to do on the defensive side of the ball. When asked about his first impressions of Ya-Sin, Humphrey had nothing but good things about him, and talked about some of the other pieces that the corner room has gained.
“He [Rock Ya-Sin] looks good. I’ve really liked some of the corners we’ve signed. I knew we were probably going to sign one or two. We got ‘Tray’ [Trayvon Mullen], got Rock, K-Y-U [Kyu Blu Kelly] – it’s actually Kyu, but I call him K-Y-U. (laughter)But I really like … In the secondary, man, we just want to figure out who can be … It doesn’t matter if you’re a safety, it doesn’t matter if you’re a safety playing this, it doesn’t matter if you’re a corner; we want to get the best six DBs [defensive backs] on the field. How you can do that? We’ve got a lot of different pieces, so how you spin it around … We kind of want to be to where anybody can play any position, and so I think we’ve got some really good pieces to be able to do that.”
