Humphrey, who was set to play in the final year of his rookie contract, has started every game possible since he was taken in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft by the Chiefs.

He’s been the starting center for Kansas City in 51 consecutive games to begin his career and all 10 playoff games during his tenure.

Humphrey has been a crucial part in shoring up the Chiefs’ line in front of Patrick Mahomes and has been a Pro Bowl pick in each of the last two seasons, though he’s never taken part in the Pro Bowl Games because he’s been busy helping the squad to back-to-back Super Bowl wins.

A stout run blocker and pass protector, the 25-year-old’s importance for the Chiefs can’t be overstated, and he’s now got the contract to prove that.
