The Jets are adding a veteran presence to their defensive line, signing DT Derrick Nnadi, his agency SportsTrust Advisors announced.
The 28-year-old ( who’ll turn 29 in May) has spent his entire seven-year career with the Kansas City Chiefs, winning three Super Bowls. He was drafted with the No. 75 pick in the third round of the 2018 NFL Draft out of Florida State.
Listed at 6-foot-1 and 317 pounds, Nnadi has started 87 of the 115 games he’s played in and made 233 combined tackles (109 solo) with five sacks, a forced fumble, and an interception. He was mostly a backup in 2024 for the Chiefs, starting just one game and playing only 20% of the snaps.
Nnadi will fit in as a rotational piece for HC Aaron Glenn and DC Steve Wilks‘ defense behind star DT Quinnen Williams.
