The Kansas City Chiefs and center Creed Humphrey agreed on a four-year, $72 million extension that includes $50 million guaranteed, making him the highest-paid player at his position in the NFL, multiple outlets reported Thursday.

Humphrey has started every game for the Chiefs since they selected him in the second round (63rd overall) of the 2021 NFL Draft. He has anchored the Chiefs' offensive line during his first three years in the league, helping Kansas City win back-to-back Super Bowls.

The 25-year-old didn't miss a game in his first three seasons, starting all 51 regular-season games and 10 more in the playoffs. Humphrey has been named to the Pro Bowl in each of the past two seasons as he's helped protect one of the league's biggest stars, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

Kansas City is 37-14 since adding Humphrey to the offensive line and is looking to become the first team in NFL history to win three straight Super Bowl titles.
