European Rugby Sensation Joins Kansas City Chiefs: What to Expect from Louis Rees-Zammit’s NFL Career

The Kansas City Chiefs, reigning Super Bowl champions, have just signed former European rugby standout Louis Rees-Zammit, according to ESPN. This move brings a new weapon to the team, as Rees-Zammit announced in January his decision to leave rugby and pursue a career in the NFL. With the best head coach and quarterback in the game, he now finds himself in a prime position to make an impact in American football.

Originally from Wales, Rees-Zammit played as a winger for the British and Irish Lions in rugby. His standout quality is his speed, as evidenced by his 4.43-second 40-yard dash time during the NFL’s International Player Pathway pro day. Known for his impressive speed, he once reached a top speed of 24.2 mph during a rugby match, exceeding the top speed recorded in the NFL last season.

While his specific position on the Chiefs roster is uncertain, it is likely that head coach Andy Reid will utilize Rees-Zammit as a wide receiver, running back, or return specialist. The NFL approved a new kickoff format to increase the rate of returns
