Derrick Nnadi

Derrick Nnadi (born May 9, 1996) is an American professional football defensive tackle for the Kansas City Chiefs of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Florida State Seminoles.

On December 9, 2017, it was announced that Nnadi had accepted his invitation to play in the 2018 Senior Bowl. On January 19, 2018, it was reported that he would not be participating in the Senior Bowl due to an unspecified injury. He attended the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis and completed all of the combine and positional drills. His overall performance was described as poor and was a detriment to his draft stock. On March 20, 2018, he participated in Florida State's pro day and chose to perform the short shuttle (4.97s) and vertical jump (25.5"). He attended a private workout with the New York Jets. At the conclusion of the pre-draft process, Nnadi was projected to be a third or fourth round pick by NFL draft experts and scouts. He was ranked as the seventh best defensive tackle in the draft by Scouts Inc. and was ranked the 11th best defensive tackle prospect by DraftScout.com.

The Kansas City Chiefs selected Nnadi in the third round with the 75th overall pick in the 2018 NFL draft. The Chiefs traded their third (86th overall) and fourth round (122nd overall) picks to the Baltimore Ravens in exchange for the Ravens' third round pick (75th overall) in order to draft Nnadi.

On June 15, 2018, the Kansas City Chiefs signed him to a four-year, $3.74 million contract featuring a signing bonus of $959,400.

In Week 11 of the 2019 season against the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday Night Football, Nnadi recorded his first career interception off Philip Rivers in the 24–17 win. The Chiefs went on to win Super Bowl LIV over the San Francisco 49ers, their first championship in 50 years.

On March 20, 2022, Nnadi re-signed with the Chiefs. He won his second Super Bowl when the Chiefs defeated the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LVII.

He re-signed with the Chiefs on March 23, 2023. He won his third Super Bowl when the Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII.

Nnadi re-signed with the Chiefs on March 19, 2024. On July 17, he was placed on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list. On August 6, the Chiefs activated Nnadi off of the PUP list.
