Las Vegas Raiders: 3 AFC West rookies to be worried about in 2021
Kansas City Chiefs: Creed Humphrey, C/OG
The Kansas City Chiefs are the class of the AFC West, there is no way around that, even if it pains me to say so. They have won the division every year since the 2016 campaign, and have been to two Super Bowls, winning one.
This offseason, they made some questionable moves early in terms of the offensive line, but when all was said and done, actually improved in all areas upfront for Patrick Mahomes. He had to run for his life during the Super Bowl against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and newcomers like Orlando Brown Jr., Joe Thuney, and Kyle Long will certainly make his life easier.
In the 2021 NFL Draft, they also added a tremendous talent to the interior of their offensive line, as Creed Humphrey has the versatility to play both guard and center at the next level. If he is as good as he was at Oklahoma, the rest of the division has to be worried, as he could eventually be the best center in the AFC West.
