When it comes to the offseason, a lot of NFL players train for the upcoming season, travel, and just recover from various injuries after a grueling season. It gives players the opportunity to try out and experience many different things as they navigate through the spring and summer months of the offseason.
During a media session, Baltimore cornerback Marlon Humphrey was asked about his international travels and his trip to Israel. He shared his excitement that he found out the team is worldwide and appreciates the support from a fanbase that’s spread all around the globe.

“Yes, actually, surprisingly, there were some big Israeli fans out there. I had a couple spectators at a workout; they just found me on a local field. I donated my helmet to a fan that was at a gym I worked out at. It was kind of surprising. There were a lot of fans in Israel. Shoutout to the Ravens in Israel. The Ravens are worldwide – I found that out – and I do appreciate the support we have. It feels great to play for such a great fanbase that’s kind of spread throughout the [world].”
The NFL is making a point to try to grow their game internationally, and they have taken multiple steps to do so over the last few years. The league will likely continue to try to expand into new and uncharted territories, which bodes well for the Baltimore fanbase growing even larger.
