The Kansas City Chiefs found their rhythm running the ball in 2023, and even after the defending champions brought in receivers to help their passing game in the offseason, their rushing attack will continue to be a crucial part of Andy Reid’s offense.
Despite being led by Isiah Pacheco, Kansas City’s ground attack is expected to be buoyed by former rugby star Louis Rees-Zammit, who signed with the Chiefs in March.
Rees-Zammit received some one-on-one coaching from Pacheco at training camp during a recent practice, which was documented in a video posted by one of the NFL’s international Twitter accounts.
Take a look at the video below:

Though Rees-Zammit isn’t expected to push Pacheco for a starting spot this season, his hard-nosed running style could be a boon for Kansas City’s offense in goal line and short yardage situations.
Expect to see more interactions between Pacheco and Rees-Zammit as training camp continues in St. Joseph.
