High school career
A native of Hoover, Alabama, Humphrey attended Hoover High School, where he was a three-time All-State selection. During his junior and senior seasons, Hoover went a combined 30–0, winning consecutive AHSAA 6A State Championships in 2012 and 2013. Humphrey was named as a USA Today High School All-American for the 2012 and 2013 seasons. Regarded as a five-star recruit by Rivals.com, Humphrey was ranked as the No. 2 cornerback prospect of the 2014 class, behind only Jabrill Peppers. Humphrey committed to attend the University of Alabama on January 29, 2014.
In high school, Humphrey also competed at a world-class level in track. He won a silver medal in the 110 metres hurdles at the 2013 World Youth Championships in Donetsk, Ukraine. He lost to Jaheel Hyde of Jamaica, who established a new championship record and came .01 seconds shy of tying the World Youth Best held by Wilhem Belocian. Due to an injury, he had to skip the 400 metres hurdles final, an event in which he held the World Youth Leading for 2013. Humphrey was named to the USA Today All-American Track and Field Team.
College career
Humphrey intended to compete in football and track for the Crimson Tide. After redshirting his initial year in Tuscaloosa, he became a starter at cornerback in 2015.
Professional career
Humphrey received an invitation to the NFL Combine and completed nearly all of the required drills, except for the shuttle and vertical. He participated at Alabama's Pro Day and decided to only do positional drills for the scouts and team representatives. The majority of scouts and analysts projected him to be selected in the first or second rounds. He was ranked the fifth best cornerback in the draft by NFLDraftScout.com and Sports Illustrated, ranked the fourth best cornerback by ESPN, and ranked the third best cornerback by NFL analysts Bucky Brooks and Mike Mayock.
The Baltimore Ravens selected Humphrey in the first round (16th overall) of the 2017 NFL Draft.
On May 5, 2017, the Baltimore Ravens signed Humphrey to a fully guaranteed four-year, $11.84 million contract with a signing bonus of $6.75 million.
