After an impressive Senior Bowl performance, the trend continued for Oklahoma center Creed Humphrey at Pro Day. The 6’4, 302-pound interior lineman wowed scouts from 31 NFL teams on Friday in Norman with his athleticism. He had a heck of a day between the hash marks putting up stellar numbers including a quick 40; a difficult feat for a man his size.
For some context:
| Broad | 9.4 |
| Vertical | 33 |
| 40-Yard | 5.09 |
| 20 Shuttle | 4.46 |
| 3-Cone | 7.54 |
| Bench | 29 |
Big man with the big ups. @creed_humphrey ⤴️

I've never seen Carey Murdock as excited about anything as he is today about Creed Humphrey's performance.

In one of the most pressure-filled days for NFL hopefuls, Humphrey eased through drills looking calm and collected. Pro Day, especially today’s simulation of the NFL combine, holds tremendous weight in moving a player potentially up or down on draft boards. On Friday, Humphrey likely climbed on many across the league in need of a dominant centerpiece. Sure, it has been a known fact that he possesses enough athletic ability for zone schemes and to take on double teams, but Pro Day confirmed and validated his skillset.
A performance that sparked high praise from onlooker, head coach Lincoln Riley, “One of the more impressive Pro Day workouts that I’ve seen.”
Looking at his metrics from Friday, a person from the outside looking in would not guess he plays the center position. Of course, Humphrey possesses the necessary grit and nastiness that accompanies an offensive lineman under Bill Bedenbaugh’s tutelage.
The Oklahoma native proved he belongs amongst the elite offensive lineman category in April’s 2021 NFL draft class. Friday showcased the limitless ceiling for Creed Humphrey and promising career ahead at the next level. Someone to keep an eye out for in the early rounds.
