KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - Kansas City Chiefs fans hoping to get their hands on a jersey of one of the newest of Chiefs Kingdom now know what numbers they’ll be wearing.

In a video shared to social media Friday, the Chiefs announced the jersey numbers for each of Kansas City’s seven draft picks from the 2025 NFL Draft.

Those numbers include:

  • First-round pick Josh Simmons: 71
  • Second-round pick Omarr Norman-Lott: 55
  • Third-round pick Ashton Gillotte: 97
  • Third-round pick Nohl Williams: 20
  • Fourth-round pick Jalen Royals: 11
  • Fifth-round pick Jeffrey Bassa: 31
  • Seventh-round pick Brashard Smith: 30

Gillotte’s jersey number selection of 97 likely indicates a number switch for 2023 first-round pick Felix Anudike-Uzomah. The former K-State Wildcat wore No. 91 in college, a number freed up by the departure of Derrick Nnadi.

Wide receiver Jalen Royals also figures to be a fan favorite jersey, given his last name’s connection to the Chiefs’ Truman Sports Complex neighbor.

KCTV5's Janae' Hancock has the top headlines for the afternoon of May 2, 2025.
