Ravens CB Marlon Humphrey ‘Got Mad Emotional’ About Steelers Signing Patrick Queen
After linebacker Patrick Queen signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers, he heard some slights back from Baltimore, and his former teammates threw playful banter his way. But once it comes time to get onto the football field, Queen wants to be known not as someone who was a former Raven but as the villain of that rivalry.
“It’s going to be weird, but I want to be that villain. I want to be that guy. I’m looking to do some stuff to them,” Queen said.
Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey, who’s a character on social media, continued with the playful jabs at Queen on his Punch Line Podcast.
“I’ll be honest with you, when I saw Patrick Queen to the Steelers, I got mad emotional. I’m just gonna be honest with you, that one hurt to the core, top linebacker in free agency,” Humphrey said. “Literally, when I saw that, I started thinking to myself, ‘How can I line up in front of PQ?’ It would be pretty hard to just knock PQ down anyway; he’s much bigger than me. So I really went off the true emotional deep end, and I was like, ‘It don’t matter, I’mma hit him.’ Bro, the Steelers? I can’t believe this.
“I was like, ‘Bro, tell me this was the only option.’ I was like, ‘You gotta help me get through this. If you sit here and tell me, you chose the Steelers…’ He was like, ‘Bro, it was the best situation,’ and then he told me the other team and I was like, ‘I hear you.'”

Players understand that it’s a business, but Queen got a lot of flak on social media from Ravens fans, however. He made sure to address the situation.
“Honestly bruh y’all can stfu now. It’s not even that deep for us players until game week and y’all can’t understand the fact it wasn’t up to me,” https://twitter.com/Patrickqueen_/status/1769144356429054375″>Queen
wrote on X about signing with the Steelers. “I gave y’all everything I had now when it’s time for me to do what I need y’all hurt bout everything I say. Go touch some grass and fill the void in y’all life. To ones still showing love even with the switch this not to y’all.”
