Pre-Camp Breakdown: Looking at the Chiefs Running Backs | The Mothership
Jaydn Ott
An undrafted free agent signee, Ott is reunited with his former Running Back Coach in DeMarco Murray, who took over that role in Kansas City back in February after previously coaching at Oklahoma.
The 5-foot-11, 198-pound Ott will now have an expanded opportunity to learn from Murray after spending just one season with the Sooners in which he battled injuries throughout the campaign. Prior to his time in Norman, however, Ott rushed for 2,587 yards and 24 touchdowns in three seasons at the University of California, earning All-America honors in 2022 and 2023.
He’s also an alum of Bruce Feldman’s annual “Freaks List,” which featured the following analysis:
“The 5-11, 208-pounder squatted 485 pounds, bench pressed 370 and power cleaned 315. His max velocity was 21.6 mph and his max acceleration registered at 12.1 mph — his ability in one second to see how fast he can sprint from a stop. The strength staff measured his peak propulsion power at 7,792 watts, and his propulsion force was more than three times (3.01) his body weight.”
Ott has special teams value as a return man, too, as he averaged nearly 22 yards-per-return (including a 100-yard touchdown in 2023) while handling kickoff duties.

As a member of the Chicago Bears, Minnesota Vikings, Arizona Cardinals and New England Patriots, Tonga factored into run support by occupying double-teams and taking up multiple gaps. A lot of his impact goes beyond the box score, as evidenced by him having just five career tackles for loss and half a sack.
Ironically, Pro Football Focus reflected a much better grade for Tonga’s pass rushing (75.6, 15th of 134 players) than his run defense (54.6, 66th) last season. On film, though, he’s more of an...
