According to NFL Network reporter Ian Rapoport, the Atlanta Falcons recently hosted Tennessee defensive tackle prospect Omarr Norman-Lott on a pre-draft visit. The former Volunteers standout has some similarities in his game to former Falcons defensive lineman Grady Jarrett.
Both players have good pass-rushing ability despite being somewhat undersized. Jarrett proved his size wasn't an issue over the course of 10 seasons in Atlanta. Norman-Lott is a projected Day 2 prospect, who, according to Rapoport, is drawing plenty of interest around the league leading up to the draft.
Norman-Lott is currently ranked 66th on Pro Football Focus' 2025 NFL big board. Without trading for more picks, the Falcons would have to likely need to target the Tennessee standout in the second round or hope he falls to the fourth.
"Norman-Lott possesses more NFL potential than his snap counts and stats say; look at his grades and win rates for a clearer picture," PFF wrote in 2025 scouting report. "He is an athletically gifted, undersized 3-technique who with better hand usage and pass-rush plans can be a contributing starter."
As far as possible Jarrett replacements go, Norman-Lott seems like a good fit as someone who could provide rotational value in 2025 and develop into a starter down the line.
The Falcons still have Ruke Orhorhoro and Brandon Dorlus on the roster. While neither player got much playing time last season, the team believes they will be more involved going forward.
