Chiefs signed Oklahoma RB Jaydn Ott.

25 April 2026

Ott’s (5’10”/201) college career is a tough one to dissect. The fourth-year prospect began his career at Cal and rushed for 170-890-8 as a freshman, following that up with a 246-1,311-12 his sophomore season. He averaged a solid 5.3 YPC in those two seasons, forcing a missed tackle on 23.8 percent of his carries while averaging over 3.30 YCO/ATT. An ankle injury sidelined him for three games in his junior season at Cal, but the fall off over 10 games was noticeable, as he managed just 385 yards and four touchdowns on 116 carries, and was relegated to a lightly-used backup in 2025 in his lone season at Oklahoma. Ott’s early-career production, which included a good feel in the passing game, evidenced by his 72 receptions for 517 yards and five touchdowns from 2022 to 2023, makes him an intriguing prospect. That said, a forgettable final two seasons suggest he’ll face an uphill battle to land on a 53-man roster. His limited experience on special teams won’t do him any favors while vying for a roster spot, either.
