Mahomes’ Dream Team: Chiefs’ O-Line Ranked Among NFL’s Best
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is about to enjoy some serious offensive line firepower. Two key members of his protection, center Creed Humphrey and right guard Trey Smith, have earned their place among the NFL’s elite, landing in the top four at their respective positions.
Humphrey’s Dominance at Center
Humphrey has quickly become a cornerstone of the Chiefs’ offensive line. His exceptional ability to read defenses and react quickly makes him a vital asset in keeping Mahomes safe from the relentless pressure of opposing defenses.
Smith’s Power at Right Guard
Smith, a powerful force on the right side, excels at neutralizing aggressive defenders. His strength and technique create a wall against the blitz, allowing Mahomes the precious seconds he needs to find his targets downfield.
A Secure Pocket for a Championship Run
Together, Humphrey and Smith provide Mahomes with the secure pocket he needs to orchestrate the Chiefs’ high-powered offense. This improved pass protection translates to more accurate throws, bigger plays, and ultimately, a higher chance of reaching the Super Bowl.
