During his introductory press conference late Friday night, Kansas City Chiefs second-round pick Omarr Norman-Lott shared his thoughts on joining Steve Spagnuolo’s defense.
“It means the world to be able to be in the National Football League, and let alone be a Chief. This is everything. (Defensive Coordinator) Steve Spagnuolo, man, he’s the head man, he draws up what’s about to go down on the field. I love him and appreciate him to death,” said Norman-Lott, “Also, (Head Coach) Andy Reid, too, for making me a part of this big organization. Shoutout to the Chiefs Kingdom, and I’m ready to just go get after it, go hunt some quarterbacks down and make some plays in the backfield.”
Norman-Lott began his college career at Arizona State for three seasons and appeared in 21 games, accumulating 44 tackles. He transferred to Tennessee in 2023, playing two seasons, tallying 44 tackles, 10 tackles for loss, 9.5 sacks, and one fumble recovery.
The versatile pass rusher on the defensive line can play several roles for Spagnuolo in specific packages, adding valuable depth to the position group. Kansas City could see Norman-Lott as a replacement for the role played by recently departed defensive tackle Derrick Nnadi.
