*****The Creed Humphrey Thread*****

More to come!

All the fun draft stuff below.

Spoiler!

Quote:

Humphrey grew up watching the Sooners and wrestling like his father, Chad, who grappled at the University of Central Oklahoma. The first-team all-state pick at Shawnee High School redshirted in 2017 before taking over the starting center spot in 12 of 14 games played in 2018, when he earned Freshman All-American and honorable mention All-Big 12 honors while helping the front five win the Joe Moore Award as the nation's top offensive line. Humphrey sat out spring 2019 practices due to injury but was ready for the fall, garnering Rimington Trophy finalist, second-team Associated Press All-American and Big 12 Co-Offensive Lineman of the Year accolades as a 14-game starter. The 2020 team captain and 11-game starter was named a third-team AP All-American, Big 12 Offensive Lineman of the Year and first-team all-conference center as a junior. He accepted an invitation to the Senior Bowl. -- by Chad Reuter

Overview
Savvy, game-wise center with below-average length, good core strength and a full slate of intangibles desired at that position. Humphrey is praised inside the building for his outstanding leadership and having the recognition to make all the calls up front. He's more of a positional blocker than fork-lifter but has the core strength to neutralize and stalemate blockers at the point of attack. He's not a plus athlete but he's athletic enough as a move blocker, with the ability to work his feet into position to finish blocks after contact. He plays with a nasty streak when needed, which will appeal to offensive line coaches, but his overall profile might be more "steady" than "star." Humphrey is a solid, safe selection and should become a longtime starter.

Strengths

Three-year starter and two-year team captain.
Undeniable team leader and tough individual.
Wrestling background is evident in core strength.
Strong hands help maintain base block.
Looks to work hands into position after losing battle early.
Swings hips into position to seal the block.
Fluid footwork for short-pull game.
Finishes blocks with good intensity.
Technique to trap and pancake leaning nose.
Hands in punch were tighter and more accurate at Senior Bowl.
Helps with cleanup when teammates' protection gets leaky.
Capable in recovery mode.

Weaknesses

Very short arms for his size, allowing defenders to get shots into his frame.
Longer defenders separate and discard him.
Will give some early ground against strong bull rush.
Occasional drift against twisting fronts.
Susceptible against push-pull specialists.
Snap-to-step lateral quickness is average.
Doesn't generate noticeable push as a drive blocker at point of attack.
Gets a little grabby through contact on the move.

"He was the best offensive lineman on the team when they won the Joe Moore Award (best offensive line in college football) and that line had everybody drafted, which speaks volumes for his ability." -- Southwest area scout for AFC team

Umm where did I say the Chiefs wouldn’t draft a C and how exactly does this prove that Blythe is playing G?

Patrick is gonna have forever to throw LMAO

Damn man, we're getting the band back together!... Roaf, Waters, Wiggy, Will, all of them, playing all your favorite old hits

That Super Bowl pissed us OFF

Chiefs are having a great draft already. Love it.

Now imagine if Schwartz gets healthy and Veach re-signs him as well!

Billy Bob from Varsity Blues!!!

I think this kid will be winning a lot of Super Bowls as the star center.

What are his flaws? Seems odd that he lasted this long.

Short arms

This guy really should have been a 1st round pick. Best center in the draft. One of the top 4 offensive line talents, regardless of position, in the draft IMO. This kid is a ****ing STUD! How the **** he made it to 63 is almost mind-blowing, similar to Thornhill a couple of years ago.

I didn't get who I wanted, but I'm sure as **** happy with the picks today. An aggressive LB that can play downhill that we don't have on this team and a stud center... hooo boy

I'm not sure how the Chiefs could've done any better in this draft thus far.

LMAOLMAOLMAO

Love this pick...Day one starter..

Love this pick. We now have training camp competition at C with Blythe and Creed, RG with LDT and Long, and RT with Remmers and Niang. We went from nothing at line to complete depth. They need to just make a Brett Veach jersey. I love this man.

No KC draft is complete without this .gif, especially when we get a lineman.

Mitch keeps saying on Twitter that he's rehabbing and his intent is to come back and play.

We'll see, but I'm not saying "he ain't" until he does.

He had all the other measureables though, centers are just not valued as much. We got a steal.

Love this pick. Mahomes and Humphrey should be together the next several years.

Humphrey's dev will be fast-tracked next to Thuney.

I bet he wins the starting job.

^This^

No more 6 man boxes... Mahomes may throw for 60 in a 17 game season this year.

Humphrey is a beast at Center. We’re going to wreek havoc on defenses. I still would like to see Dyami Brown become a Chief. We need some wide outs, to go with Veach’s draft oicks.

Don't know much about him but a lot of the people I follow that know what they're talking about that are fans of other teams are hyping it up as a great pick.

Great pick. Mahomes gonna have so much time LMAO

I think Reid and Veach realize that not only did we need to improve the line overall but we have to get a decent running game to protect Pat as well. Can't just have token runs that occasionally go for 5 or 6 but usually go for 1 or 2.
