Ethan Pocic: A second-round pick by the Seattle Seahawks in 2017, Pocic has spent the past four seasons as the Cleveland Browns' starting center. Last season, he started every game before suffering a torn Achilles in Week 14 against the Tennessee Titans.

James Daniels: A second-round pick by the Chicago Bears in 2018, Daniels has actually spent most of his NFL career at guard despite playing center in college at Iowa. He's only played in five games over the past two seasons, though, as he suffered a torn Achilles in 2024 and a season-ending pectoral injury in Week 1 of last season.

Graham Glasgow: Glasgow, a 10-year veteran who's played seven with the Detroit Lions and three with the Denver Broncos, has also spent most of his professional career at guard. But after Frank Ragnow retired in June 2025, Glasgow assumed the Lions' starting center role and started 14 games that fall. He was released in March.

Sam Mustipher: Mustipher, who was born in Owings Mills, Md., and has had two separate stints on the Ravens' practice squad, hasn't been a regular starter since his last season with the Chicago Bears in 2022. He was most recently on the Broncos, where he appeared in one regular-season game and two playoff games.

Ryan Bates: Bates has only been a regular starter in one of his seven NFL seasons since being signed as an undrafted free agent by the Buffalo Bills in 2019, which came in 2022. He was most recently on the Chicago Bears, where he appeared in 16 regular-season games and two playoff games last season.
