As the 2025 NFL playoffs kicked off, Kansas City finally received a piece of good news — and it came from the most reliable spot on the field.
Center Creed Humphrey, the steady heartbeat of the Chiefs’ offensive line, was named First-Team Associated Press All-Pro for the second straight season. In a year defined by roster turnover and chaos up front, Humphrey was the one constant Andy Reid could count on every single snap.
And that’s not a figure of speech.
Humphrey started every game in 2025 — just as he has in every season since entering the league in 2021. While injuries and shuffling plagued the line around him, he held the middle with machine-like precision, becoming the Chiefs’ lone representative on this year’s AP All-Pro team.
The numbers behind the dominance
According to Pro Football Focus, Humphrey finished the season as the highest-graded center in the entire NFL.
-
1st in overall grade among centers
-
1st in pass blocking — allowing just one sack across 742 pass-blocking snaps
-
2nd in run blocking
At just 26 years old, Humphrey already owns:
-
2 First-Team All-Pro selections
-
4 Pro Bowls
-
2 Super Bowl rings
It’s the kind of résumé that doesn’t just turn heads — it starts Hall of Fame conversations.
How the honor is decided
This marks the fourth season under the AP’s updated voting format, where first-team votes earn three points and second-team votes earn one, with totals verified by accounting firm Lutz and Carr.
But the numbers only tell part of the story.
Because while stars grab headlines, championships are built in silence — and in Kansas City, no one has mastered that quiet dominance better than Creed Humphrey.
