Quick Glance: Kansas City Chiefs to Add Rugby Star Louis Rees-Zammit for RB/WR Positions
  • The Kansas City Chiefs are set to acquire former Wales rugby star Louis Rees-Zammit to play as a running back and wide receiver, as reported by NFL journalist Jordan Schultz.

  • Back in January, the 23-year-old Rees-Zammit declared his departure from rugby to pursue a path in the NFL's international player program. Despite his youth, he stood out as a promising talent in his prior sport, making his transition to professional football a notable progression.

  • During his recent Pro Day, Rees-Zammit showcased impressive results, clocking in at 4.43 seconds in the 40-yard dash, achieving a 9'7" broad jump, and a 29-inch vertical jump. Even with potential adjustments needed for NFL life, the league introduced a 17th roster spot this year dedicated to international players, enhancing his prospects of fulfilling both his and his father's aspirations.

  • The NFL's international player program has seen several success stories, notably with former Australian rugby player and current Philadelphia Eagles Star-Left Tackle Jordan Mailata. Rees-Zammit aims to emulate such success with the reigning champions, the Chiefs.
