Chiefs Select Omarr Norman-Lott with 63rd Pick

The Kansas City Chiefs selected Tennessee defensive tackle Omarr Norman-Lott with their second-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, seeing him as a productive rotational player for their defensive line. Chiefs personnel highlighted Norman-Lott's explosiveness, strong conditioning, and impressive performance at the Senior Bowl, noting his potential to maximize limited snaps and fit well alongside established teammates. While injury concerns contributed to his draft position, analysts describe him as an energetic interior rusher with quickness and disruptive potential, albeit undersized for certain run defense situations. Norman-Lott's college production included 18 tackles and 4 sacks in his final season, and he was praised for his ability to generate interior pressure. The Chiefs view his addition as part of a broader strategy to build depth and ensure future success by developing young talent alongside veterans. Norman-Lott's rookie contract is projected to be worth $7.2 million over four years, including a significant signing bonus.
