KC Chiefs star Creed Humphrey takes No. 1 spot in PFF center rankings

Kansas City Chiefs star Creed Humphrey will be the pace-setter at his position in 2026 after the experts at Pro Football Focus ranked him No. 1 overall in their evaluation of NFL centers.

“For the fourth consecutive year, Humphrey reigns atop the NFL landscape at the center position,” PFF’s Mason Cameron said of Kansas City’s star lineman. “No interior blocker has a more consistently elite grading profile over the past five seasons. In 2025, he once again led all centers in PFF Wins Above Replacement (0.544) and overall PFF grade (88.8), finishing as the only center to post grades above 80.0 in both run-blocking and pass protection.”

Humphrey gave Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes championship-level protection last season, and will need to do so again in 2026, while also opening running lanes for Kansas City’s newly acquired tailback Kenneth Walker III.

Chiefs fans can expect Humphrey to be a key part of Kansas City’s front five this season as head coach Andy Reid looks to reinvent his team’s offense.
