Kansas City Chiefs C Creed Humphrey has earned an accolade recognizing his tremendous rookie season.
After a stellar performance where he allowed just 10 total pressures on the year, Humphrey was named to both the PFWA All-Rookie Team and the only rookie named to PFF’s All-Pro team. Now, he’s being recognized by the Senior Bowl, where he competed as a draft-eligible prospect coming out of the University of Oklahoma. They’ve officially named Humphrey as their Rookie of the Year inductee into the Senior Bowl Hall of Fame.
