The Kansas City Chiefs continue to make moves this offseason, securing the arrival of a young player who will compete for a spot on the team coached by Andy Reid and led by Patrick Mahomes.
The Kansas City Chiefs continue to prepare for the 2025 NFL season with a clear mission: regain the title after losing their crown to the Philadelphia Eagles. Under Andy Reid and with Patrick Mahomes as the team’s main superstar, the focus has now shifted to strengthening the defensive unit.
After bolstering the offensive line and re-signing key playmakers, Kansas City’s front office turned its attention to reinforcing the defensive front. Acknowledging the need for more consistency on that side of the ball, especially after key games where defensive depth was tested, the Chiefs made a move to bring in a physical presence who fits Steve Spagnuolo’s scheme.
The winning formula of Reid and Mahomes has proven that a brilliant offense isn’t enough, having a reliable and versatile defense has been key to their recent championships. In that context, the Chiefs got to work to secure a young talent.
Who is the Chiefs’ new addition?
According to NFL insider Ian Rapoport, the Chiefs have agreed to terms with defensive tackle Omarr Norman-Lott, their 63rd overall pick in the 2025 Draft. The rookie joins a team with championship aspirations and will aim to make an immediate impact alongside veterans Chris Jones and George Karlaftis.

Who is Omarr Norman-Lott?
Norman-Lott was a standout interior lineman at Arizona State and later at Tennessee. Known for his strength at the point of attack and ability to disrupt inside run plays, he projects as a rotational player early in his NFL career, with upside to earn more snaps as he adjusts to pro speed.
His agility and motor caught the attention of multiple teams during the pre-draft process, but it was Kansas City who saw his potential as a long-term fit in their defensive front. With training camp around the corner, Norman-Lott will begin his integration into one of the most competitive rosters in the league.
