One of the benefits of playing center at the University of Oklahoma is working with so many talented quarterbacks. During his time in Norman, former center Creed Humphrey played with a Heisman winner in Kyler Murray, a Heisman finalist in Jalen Hurts, and the 2021 Heisman front runner in Spencer Rattler.
It almost seems unfair that now he will get a chance to play with former NFL and Super Bowl MVP, Patrick Mahomes. Following last year’s Super Bowl debacle, the Chiefs made a concerted effort to improve the protection around their franchise quarterback. Prior to the NFL draft, the team traded for former Sooners offensive tackle Orlando Brown Jr. Then drafted Creed Humphrey with the No. 63 pick of the draft. The former Oklahoma duo will look to pave the way for Mahomes.

When speaking about quarterback play, Humphrey shared his excitement about blocking for another former Big 12 quarterback.
”Yeah, I’ve had the chance to play with some good quarterbacks at OU and it’s been a big help for me,” Humphrey said. “Just their leadership skills and everything like that, it helps me a lot throughout my career, and getting to play with a player like Patrick Mahomes it’s so exciting just because he’s so talented. He’s such a good player, he can change the dynamic of a whole game, so I can’t wait to get up there and start working with the team.” – Humphrey via Chiefs Wire
No timetable has been officially set but indications are that Humphrey will get his first taste of Kansas City football this upcoming weekend for rookie minicamp.
