The Kansas City Chiefs and Pro Bowl center Creed Humphrey have agreed on a four-year extension valued at $72 million, including $50 million guaranteed. This effectively makes him the highest-paid center in NFL history. The previous holder of the highest annual salary for a center was the Detroit Lions' Frank Ragnow ($13.5 million). A former second-round pick of the 2021 NFL Draft, Humphrey has been a model of consistency for the Chiefs -- yet to miss a start in his three-year career. The University of Oklahoma product has evolved into one of the premier interior blockers in the league, and he'll now anchor Kansas City's offensive line through 2028. He's allowed just 44 total pressures throughout his career. The Chiefs now have the NFL's highest-paid interior offensive lineman, interior defensive lineman (Chris Jones), and tight end (Travis Kelce).
With the 63rd pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Kansas City Chiefs have selected Oklahoma center Creed Humphrey. Humphrey didn't allow a sack last season and joins a Chiefs team that has spent the entire offseason rebuilding the offensive line in an attempt to protect quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Humphrey is a strong pass blocker who can help anchor this line once he's up to speed in the NFL. For now, he'll compete with Austin Blythe for the starting center position.
