NFL Superstar Joins Trump Rally

Baltimore Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey is set to join President Donald Trump on Tuesday as the White House rolls out a shipbuilding investment in Maryland.

Humphrey, a 10-year NFL veteran who has spent his career with the Ravens, is expected to meet with Trump ahead of the president’s remarks at Sparrows Point in Baltimore. The two are expected to discuss Humphrey’s charity work, along with football and golf.

“Marlon Humphrey is a great talent, player, and leader for the Ravens,” Trump adviser Alex Bruesewitz told The Post. “He is also widely respected in the locker room and the city of Baltimore.”

Other Ravens players are also expected at Trump’s appearance at Tradepoint Atlantic, the industrial complex built on the former Bethlehem Steel site.

Trump is expected to announce a $6.6 billion investment tied to Anduril Industries and a new shipbuilding facility that will produce components for Virginia-class submarines. The project is expected to include roughly 2 million square feet of industrial space across 187 acres, and to create thousands of jobs.

The Baltimore stop comes as Trump keeps emphasizing manufacturing and blue-collar work ahead of the November midterms. The White House has also made shipbuilding a focus. Trump signed a memorandum in August directing the federal government to expand competition and investment in the maritime industrial base, address Navy construction delays, and establish a fifth public naval shipyard.

The new facility is meant to focus on components for Virginia-class submarines as the Navy tries to increase production. Humphrey’s appearance gives the event a local sports tie in a city where he has spent his whole NFL career.

The former first-round pick has become one of Baltimore’s most recognizable players. Trump’s visit is also a relatively uncommon stop in deep-blue Maryland as he moves through states and districts with competitive races.
