Kansas City Chiefs’ acquisition of ex-rugby player Louis Rees-Zammit made waves during the 2024 offseason, and while the Welshman adjusts to life on the American gridiron, his notoriety in Western Missouri is already growing.
Though he is still in the process of learning the game, Rees-Zammit has gotten experience as a returner and kickoff specialist in the preseason, proving that he can be more than a running back in the Chiefs’ Super Bowl defense campaign.
His role in Kansas City may be a work in progress, but judging from the following he gained at Chiefs training camp, the former rugger is on the fast track to becoming a fan-favorite.
Rees-Zammit was seen speaking to the media at Arrowhead Stadium after Kansas City’s narrow loss to the Detroit Lions last week in this video that was posted to the Chiefs Digest YouTube channel:
Expect to see Rees-Zammit in action during Kansas City’s matchup against the Chicago Bears on Thursday as the Chiefs look to finish their three-game preseason schedule with a win.
