2021 WorldWide Rams Draft Profile: Creed Humphrey | Oklahoma | C

WorldWide rams

Doug Nelson

Player Bio: Creed Humphrey is a native of Shawnee, OK., who has been competing as a wrestler since the age of four. He was rated as a three or four-star recruit, choosing Oklahoma over Alabama and Oklahoma State, among others. He was a three-year starter for the Sooners, winning accolades as one of the better centers in the country. There is little doubt that he would fit with a Rams team that lost starting center Austin Blythe to free agency. Whether he will be available at pick number 57 when the Rams have their first selection is highly questionable.

#56 Creed Humphrey vs florida (2020)

#56 Creed HUMPHREY senior bowl highlights

Strengths: Humphrey is a robust and intelligent player who does not make many mistakes. He has lots of experience, including big-game experience against top-shelf opponents. Creed played for a prolific passing offense and is used to holding his ground against bull-rushing or stunting pass rushers. He uses his hands well, and as a wrestler, has a good understanding of leverage. Humphrey is a player that can plugin as a rookie and not worry about talent. Although the Rams would appear to have a more significant need at center, he can also play guard.
​
Weaknesses: Not many, but he is not the most athletic guy, even for an interior lineman. While Humphrey is plenty strong enough to play the position, he is not the kind of “mauler” some teams like on the interior line. Maybe his biggest “weakness’’ from Ram's point of view is the question of whether they want to take a center with their top selection. If they pass on him at 57, they may not get another chance. They are not known to have interviewed Humphrey and only conducted one interview with a center, Quinn Meinerz of Wisconsin-Whitewater. They seem more interested in wide receivers and defensive backs.

Draft Projection: 1st - 2nd Round
