Despite owning one of the worst pass defenses in the NFL so far, Pro Football Focus named a member of the Baltimore Ravens secondary to its "First Quarter All-Pro" defensive team.
PFF gave its "flex" spot to Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey after the first four weeks of the season.
Humphrey is the only member of the Ravens to make the squad.

Through four games, Humphrey has 19 tackles, one interception, and four passes defended.
Humphrey has a solid 73.1 grade from PFF so far this season, but PFF recently graded Humphrey with the best "lockdown rate" in the NFL — a stat that measures a defender's ability to prevent a receiver from getting separation.
After an injury-plagued 2023 season, Humphrey has returned to form this season.
Nonetheless, it is surprising to see Humphrey make the imaginary team, as the Ravens have had struggles defending the pass this year. They have improved over the last two weeks, but they are still in the bottom five in the league in passing yards allowed this season.
Humphrey's inclusion on the list is particularly surprising, as linebacker Kyle Van Noy was recently named AFC Defensive Player of the Month, as he racked up six sacks over 3.5 games.
