In 2021, Kansas City Chiefs fans have been treated to watching one of the best offensive lines in recent memory. Last Sunday, it seemed there was a highlight reel block being thrown every down, with enough pancakes to open a chain of IHOP franchises that stretches from Arrowhead to SoFi Stadium.
Smack dab in the middle of this "Great Barrier" Chiefs unit is rookie center Creed Humphrey, who has already achieved a sort of folk hero status among the Kansas City faithful. As of the writing of this story, Humphrey is currently the highest-graded center on Pro Football Focus and the fourth highest-graded offensive lineman in the entire NFL.
