Last year\u2019s conference winners anticipated a trip back to the playoffs in 2026, but nothing of the sort manifested itself. Instead, Kansas City struggled on a team level, and several of their individual players followed suit.<\/p>\n<p>Center Creed Humphrey wasn\u2019t one of them. The former second-round pick continued where he left off a season ago, turning in a productive campaign. It was more of the same from the Oklahoma product.<\/p>\n<p>With the offseason rolling, he\u2019s now getting recognized for his efforts.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Chiefs Center Creed Humphrey Named First-Team All-Pro for 2025-26 Season<\/h2>\n<p>On January 10, the Associated Press released its 2025 NFL All-Pro teams. To kick off the weekend, voting results of a 50-member media panel were made public.<\/p>\n<p>Only one Chiefs player, Humphrey, made the cut for either first- or second-team honors.<\/p>\n<p>This marks the second year in a row Humphrey was named to the first team. Back in 2022, he was a second-team All-Pro. He\u2019s also a Pro Bowler for the fourth straight year, in addition to placing third in Offensive Rookie of the Year voting in 2021. Per the AP, Humphrey received 93 points and 26 first-place votes. Aaron Brewer of the Miami Dolphins (74, 19) and Tyler Linderbaum of the Baltimore Ravens (16, 1) rounded out the top three.<\/p>\n<p>Back in December, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid predicted the future when praising Humphrey.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll-Pro,\u201d Reid began. He\u2019s a great player there, and a great person. Stable, so you\u2019re going to get the same thing every day. He\u2019s going to prep the same way every day, and he\u2019s dirty-tough, strong and smart.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also tipped his cap to his star center in July.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s a very good athlete, great balance, ex-wrestler,\u201d Reid said. \u201cGreat balance and upper-body strength, he\u2019s got lower-body strength. One of the stronger guys on the team, and he\u2019s got a nice feel for the game. Plus, he\u2019s very intelligent.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Where Does Humphrey Stack Up With Other Centers in NFL?<\/h2>\n<p>For the fifth season, Humphrey played in all 17 games and made a start. His Iron Man streak currently sits at 85 regular-season games, and he\u2019s certainly made the most of them. Humphrey has 5,623 snaps under his belt on offense, adding another 397 on special teams. That\u2019s without even considering the 13 playoff games on his resume.<\/p>\n<p>Advanced metrics love Humphrey\u2019s profile. According to Pro Football Focus, his 88.8 overall grade and 84.1 pass blocking grade led all centers this year. His 88.5 run blocking grade trailed only Brewer. Out of 34 centers with 500+ snaps played, he was the only one to surrender fewer than 10 pressures. He had just 8 in 17 games, paired with a group-leading 99.3 pass blocking efficiency mark.<\/p>\n<p>The greatness doesn\u2019t stop there. Humphrey stands out in the best of ways when it comes to time-to-pressure ratio and percentage of pressures afforded.<\/p>\n<div id=\"2dacb49e0ed24a9ca415bc8b8aafd9ae\">\n<div>\n<article>Average time to pressure and pressure rate allowed among qualified centers, via @PattonAnalytics &amp; @FTNFantasy. Not the worst possible placement for #Chargers center Bradley Bozeman. Creed Humphrey very much in a league of his own at this position.<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Humphrey is certainly being compensated for his production. Per Over The Cap, his $18 million annual salary tops the center market. He also has the most fully-guaranteed money ($35M), total guarantees ($50.3M) and total contract value ($72M). It\u2019s a hefty price for Kansas City to pay, albeit undoubtedly a fair one.<\/p>\n<p>During the regular season, the Chiefs posted the second-best pass block win rate, per ESPN. Humphrey played a massive role in that, on top of being a road-grading force as a run blocker. He\u2019s established himself as the best center in the NFL.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s fitting that he now gets to add some hardware to his mantle as a result.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the 2025-26 season in the books, the Kansas City Chiefs got some big-time positive news on center Creed Humphrey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":41437,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-41436","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-kansas-city-chiefs"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
