Kansas City Chiefs Sr. Director of Player Personnel Mike Bradway on DL Omarr Norman-Lott
Kansas City Chiefs Sr. Director of Player Personnel Mike Bradway on DL Omarr Norman-Lott
During his press conference over the weekend, Kansas City Chiefs Senior Director of Player Personnel Mike Bradway shared his thoughts on second-round draft pick Omarr Norman-Lott being a rotational player.
"That's the first thing, it's a heavy rotation there (Tennessee), so I think he played only about 25% of the snaps, and that's everybody. In those snaps, I mean you're talking about a guy that maximizes his snaps." said Bradway, "Just the unique explosion he has off the ball, we saw a guy that was really conditioned, he has a great frame, he has 11-inch hands, 34-inch arms, he's strong for his size. Then you go down to the Senior Bowl, and he was really impressive down there. I thought he was one of the better interior d-linemen, so we envision him as a really productive rotational guy."
Norman-Lott began his college career at Arizona State but transferred to Tennessee. In two seasons with the Volunteers, he collected 44 tackles, 10 tackles for loss, 9.5 sacks, and one fumble recovery.
The Chiefs' front office sees his value as a player in the middle, either next to All-Pro Chris Jones or in rotational relief.

Kansas City Chiefs' 'Defensive Triplets' Disrespected in NFL Rankings
Kansas City Chiefs' 'Defensive Triplets' Disrespected in NFL Rankings originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Kansas City Chiefs hope to rebound from a disappointing loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX just four months ago. Advertisement The defense will look different as there have been additions and subtractions, mostly part of general manager Brett Veach's plan to get better. But it's three familiar faces that show up on SI's "defensive triplets" rankings, where the Chiefs' trio of Chris Jones, Nick Bolton and Trent McDuffie show up at No. 6, inside the top 10 but not in the first five, which is curious. 6. Kansas City Chiefs Triplets: Chris Jones, Nick Bolton, Trent McDuffie "Jones again played like the best defensive tackle in the NFL. His elite performances helped the Chiefs make the Super Bowl for the third consecutive season. McDuffie had no trouble playing on the outside full-time, and Bolton's consistency was rewarded with a three-year, $45 million extension." Advertisement Jones, the six-time Pro Bowler, posted 37 tackles with 19 solo and nine for loss with five sacks, a forced fumble and 20 QB hits. That's his lowest sack total since he registered two in his rookie year in 2016. In his fourth season last year, Bolton amassed 106 total tackles with 73 solo and 11 for loss. He added a career-high three sacks, an interception, six passes defended and two fumble recoveries with one forced fumble. McDuffie posted 59 total tackles with 45 solo and six for loss with half a sack and four QB hits across 16 games. He added a pair of interceptions, 13 passes defended and a forced fumble. If the Chiefs are going to bounce back from a disappointing end to the 2024 campaign, then it will be partly due to the play of their "defensive triplets."

Taylor Swift Dance Wedding Video with Travis Kelce Reveals Unmatched Vibe
Taylor Swift Dance Wedding Video with Travis Kelce Reveals Unmatched Vibe originally appeared on Athlon Sports. One thing we know about Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is that he likes to have fun, and it appears he's found the perfect partner to have said fun with: Taylor Swift. Having been dating for over two years, Travis and Taylor hit their first rough patch after the Super Bowl loss and retreated out of the public eye. However, over the past week, it seems they are slowly re-emerging, with the pair spotted on a date night and, most recently, at Travis' cousin's wedding in Tennessee. We have seen pictures of the pair celebrating the wedding, and now, a video has emerged of the couple watching on as the bride and groom shared what we think was their first dance. In the video posted to social media Kelce and Swift were seen dancing and grooving in their seats, with Travis noticeably having his hand on Taylor's knee/leg the whole time. The vibes are unmatched. Often unable to go anywhere without a host of fans swarming them and cameras going off everywhere, the wedding felt like a welcome change of pace for the high-profile couple. It was a relaxed atmosphere; guests didn't crowd the couple, making it uncomfortable. Instead, both Travis and Taylor were able to do their own thing and pose for photos with guests and others. Hence, that is likely why they felt like they could be themselves and have a good time because they didn't have to worry about being swarmed. And it shows, with Taylor and Travis finally able to act like a "normal" couple in public and enjoy spending time together.

The development of the players in the Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver stable certainly benefits the growth of their offense, but certain pieces are in jeopardy of being left on the outskirts on the road to training camp.
The development of the players in the Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver stable certainly benefits the growth of their offense, but certain pieces are in jeopardy of being left on the outskirts on the road to training camp. originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Super Bowl LIX showed the Kansas City Chiefs needed major improvements to their receiving room. Days away from the team's start at mandatory minicamp and offseason activities shifting into another gear, the team has mostly opted for development in-house. Advertisement There's some level of risk there though the top two pieces in Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy have proven a great deal early in their careers. The Chiefs will count on their growth while veteran Hollywood Brown presumably slides into the No. 3 spot after an injury-riddled debut campaign with the team last season. Factor in the return of JuJu Smith-Schuster to the lineup and the addition of rookie Jalen Royals and suddenly the receivers room looks pretty crowded. Considering the bigger picture of pass catchers in this offense, future Hall of Fame tight end Travis Kelce cannot be forgotten either. Unfortunately, that brings the future of fourth-year Skyy Moore into question. Moore did not post more than 250 yards in his first two seasons with the team and missed the majority of 2024 due to injury. He did not register a catch in the six games he played. While the Chiefs appreciate the tools Moore brings to the table it would appear he faces an uphill battle to make the team outright per Charles Goldman of A-to-Z Sports. Advertisement 'The coaching staff has shown that they like Skyy Moore's ability to plug in at every wide receiver position,' Goldman said. 'He'll get opportunities during offseason workouts and training camp, but make no mistake that he's on a short leash.' He also noted that another injury could be a serious detriment for his roster chances. The Chiefs are far away from making these final decisions, so Moore has time to make ground and maybe change some minds on the coaching staff. But the brutally honest reality of this situation has made it clear that Moore's spot on the roster could be in jeopardy. Related: 'Keeping Up With Taylor Swift' Serving As Travis Kelce Motivation?
