Chiefs Turn Heads After Announcement on Patrick Mahomes' Teammate originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
The Kansas City Chiefs may have hit a speed bump last season, but they have been at the top of the NFL world for much of the past several years.
Kansas City has been to three straight Super Bowls, having won in 2023 and 2024.
Last season, Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs suffered a loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl, ending their chances of winning three straight titles.
Before their loss to the Eagles, the Chiefs defeated the Houston Texans and the Buffalo Bills in the postseason, earning the AFC championship.
After the season, the Chiefs headed back to the whiteboard, looking to improve on their quest for four straight Super Bowl appearances.
During the offseason, Pro Football Focus dropped its center rankings, listing Chiefs star Creed Humphrey as the No. 1 center in the NFL.
The Chiefs reacted to the announcement on social media, adding a strong statement to their post.
"Giving credit where it's due," posted the official social media account of the Kansas City Chiefs. "PFF named Creed Humphrey the 𝙗𝙚𝙨𝙩 center in the league headed into this season."

"Congratulations Creed! You deserve it! Go Chiefs," said one fan.
"Protect QB1," said another fan.
"It’s about time," mentioned one fan.

"Too bad his qb is Mahomes," said one fan.
"Congrats Creed!!! You are the man," said another fan.
Creed Humphrey was drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs in 2021 after starring at Oklahoma at the collegiate level.
Since joining the Chiefs and helping lead the offense with one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, Patrick Mahomes, Humphrey has been named a three-time Pro Bowler.
The Chiefs star, who has already earned three Super Bowl titles, has also been honored as a Second-Team and First-Team All-Pro.
