Chiefs selected Tennessee DT Omarr Norman-Lott with the No. 63 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Norman-Lott (6’2/291) spent his first three seasons at Arizona State before moving across the country to become Tennessee’s passing down interior pressure specialist. Last year he led all defensive tackles with a 12.9% PRP and 18.9% win percentage despite logging just 225 snaps as a rotational lineman. He could stand to clean up his tackling form with a concerning 33.3% missed tackle rate that will not stand at the NFL level. His compact frame allows Norman-Lott to extend his 33.3/4” arms and huge 10 ¾” under blockers’ pads and establish the leverage advantage. He is extremely elusive on the rush, varying his tempo and frequently using a shoulder shake that makes it difficult for blockers to land punches on him. Norman-Lott fires off the ball and flows down the line of scrimmage well, but his core competency is clearly his pass rushing acumen and diverse moveset. While Norman-Lott has NFL caliber twitch, he is a bit undersized and is probably pegged for situational sub-package work. He’s a developmental prospect for a Chiefs team seeking upside.
