(Angelina Alcantar/News Sentinel / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images) Tennessee defensive lineman Omarr Norman-Lott (55) celebrating after a play during the NCAA college football game against Kent State on Saturday, Sept. 14, 2024 in Knoxville, Tenn.

Omarr Norman-Lott became the second Tennessee Volunteer to be selected in this year’s 2025 NFL Draft after being selected in the second round by the Kansas City Chiefs with the No.63 overall pick.

Norman-Lott played a vital role in Tennessee’s defensive pass rushing attack when healthy. He was a productive, disruptive interior pass rushing presence and surged up draft boards over the off-season

Lott is now set for a nice payday after his selection by the Chiefs, according to Spot Rac.

Norman-Lott is projected to make $7,195,580 over four years with a signing bonus of $1,873,148

Norman-Lott in 13 games had 4.0 tackles for loss, 4.0 sacks, 18 tackles and three quarterback hits.

He received high praise during the season from ESPN’s Matt Miller ahead of Tennessee’s playoff game against Ohio State in December.

“(Omarr) Norman-Lott is the pacesetter for a deep Volunteers defensive line,” Miller wrote, “registering four sacks and 18 pressures this season along with an interior pressure percentage of 14.5%.”

Dont’e Thornton, Dylan Sampson, and Cooper Mays remain names to watch after Lott comes off the board.
