The 2025 season was disappointing for the Kansas City Chiefs, as they missed the playoffs and finished with double-digit losses. A significant positive has been the continued improvement and overall excellent play of center Creed Humphrey.
The accolades are racking up for Humphrey, who was named a Pro Bowler for a fourth consecutive season and earned another first-team All-Pro selection. He also earned successive selections to the PFWA All-NFL team from 2021-25. He can potentially add the first-ever Protector of the Year Award at NFL Honors on Thursday night.
The award, championed by Buffalo Bills tackle Dion Dawkins and to be announced annually at NFL Honors, recognizes excellence along the offensive line by honoring the league’s most outstanding lineman over a single NFL season, and an elite selection committee of NFL Legends determines the winner. Humphrey is a finalist alongside Garett Bolles, Aaron Brewer, Quinn Meinerz, Penei Sewell, and former Chiefs star Joe Thuney.
The award is chosen by a group of former All-Pro centers, guards, and tackles, bringing championship experience and position-specific expertise to the evaluation. LeCharles Bentley, Jason Kelce, Shaun O’Hara, Orlando Pace, Andrew Whitworth, and Chiefs legend Will Shields will serve as judges.
Humphrey started every game during the 2025 regular season, remaining a consistent star on an often-changing offensive line. He has started every game since being drafted into the league before the 2021 season. The former Oklahoma standout ranked first among NFL centers in overall grade, as he allowed only one sack in 742 pass-blocking snaps.
Winner to Be Announced During NFL Honors on Thursday, February 5th at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco. NFLHonors, the league’s primetime awards special, will air at 9 p.m. ET / 8 p.m. CT on NBC and NFLNetwork, with streaming available on Peacock and NFL+.
