Arrowheadlines: Ashton Gillotte expected to be more impactful than most rookies

Ranking NFL’s top 10 instant impact rookies for 2025: Travis Hunter, James Pearce Jr. high on list, RB No. 1 | CBS Sports

8. Ashton Gillotte, EDGE, Chiefs

Gillotte is simply one of those defensive linemen that produces. He’s not a freakazoid athlete. He doesn’t have outstanding measurables. He just learned how to defeat blocks efficiently while getting upfield — or bending the corner — in college, and that nuance is rarely seen in trench prospects.

At Louisville, Gillotte pieced together back-to-back seasons with more than 55 quarterback pressures on 363 and 373 pass-rushing opportunities respectively.
