Louis-Rees Zammit reveals the reason he chose the Kansas City Chiefs over other NFL teams that wanted to sign the Wales rugby star
Much has been made of 'Rees-Lightning's' shock switch to a new sport but the once rugby fullback hugely impressed during the NFL 's International Player Pathway Program ."We’ll start him off at the running back position and get him to feel comfortable with that," the 66-year-old head coach said this week.
Explaining that it was not going to be an easy transition, Reid said that special teams coordinator Dave Toub would be working with Rees-Zammit on that side of the game. He is said to have impressed numerous league scouts at his pro day and posted a 4.43 time in his 40-yard dash as well as a 9ft 7in broad jump and 29-inch vertical jump.Now, the hard work starts as the Welshman tries to make the 53-man Chiefs roster for Week 1 of the new NFL season.On a recent episode of his 'New Heights' podcast with his brother Jason, Kelce issued a stern warning for Rees-Zammit ahead of his NFL debut.
"But it's gonna be a tough few months for him here while he's getting acclimated to the NFL. We've been doing this since we were kids, so we're gonna have those little instincts that we've built over the years that he's got to catch up with."
