That&#8217;s not easy to replace.<\/p>\n<p>That being said, with Jones entering his age-31 season, Norman-Lott can learn from him. When his time comes to step into the starting role, hopefully he can take the things he&#8217;s learned from Jones and apply them to his own game.<\/p>\n<p>People won&#8217;t be giving the Norman-Lott pick much thought because he&#8217;s not going to be an immediate starter. The hope is that when he does play as a rookie, he looks the part of an eventual game-wrecker.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s okay if this move has flown under the radar for now because hopefully, in the future, it looks like a pure genius move for Kansas City&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When the 2025 NFL Draft concluded, there were some picks made by the Kansas City Chiefs that were heavily applauded and others that flew under the radar&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":70267,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-70266","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
