Chiefs center Creed Humphrey is something of 'a unicorn in the league'
Jason and Travis Kelce shared their thoughts on playing against each other in the Super Bowl."Might be" because no one seems definitively sure if the second-team All-Pro would actually become the first left-handed center to lift the Lombardi Trophy if the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.
Told Wednesday he's poised to be the first southpaw snapper to win it all, Humphrey responded:"Really?" When this USA TODAY Sports reporter then admitted he had no idea if it was 100% true – particularly since centers snapped with both hands on the football years ago – Humphrey let loose a belly laugh.Yet this isn't as trivial a matter as one might assume. Left-handed pivots seem to be a rarity at all levels of football and, naturally, even more so in the NFL. Several of his teammates were queried, but none could recall playing with one aside from Humphrey.
"It was a consideration when we were evaluating him," Chiefs offensive line coach Andy Heck told USA TODAY Sports."In the end, we decided, 'No, it's not going to be an issue.'The primary concern seems to be that when a quarterback takes a direct snap, he's used to the way the ball comes up from a right-hander. Heck said it"spins a different way" from Humphrey.
"I know that some teams steer away from a left-handed center. You don't see a lot of them. ... Whatever he's doing is working really well."
