Creed Humphrey is widely considered the best at his craft in the NFL, and while the center position is often a thankless role, the man in the middle of the Kansas City Chiefs' offensive line earned some much-deserved recognition on Thursday.
Humphrey checked in at No. 93 in the annual “NFL Top 100” rankings, which aim to rank the league's top performers as voted on by the players themselves.
Here's a portion of what the rankings had to say about Humphrey, whose appearance in the rankings marks the first of his career:
"PFF's best-graded center (92.4) by 6.3 points, he boasted the highest pass-blocking grade at his position by an even larger margin (91.5; nine points) and received the second-highest run-blocking grade (90.5). Humphrey reached his third straight Pro Bowl and was recognized for the first time as a first-team All-Pro…Humphrey did not allow a quick pressure (under 2.5 seconds) across 653 pass-blocking snaps in 2024, the most pass-blocking snaps without allowing a quick pressure by any offensive lineman."
Humphrey was the first member of the Chiefs to appear in the rankings, which will be gradually released in the coming days and weeks.
