Louis Rees-Zammit makes debut for NFL champions Kansas City Chiefs
Former rugby player Louis Rees-Zammit said he “loved” his debut for the Kansas City Chiefs after his move to the NFL.
The 23-year-old Welshman moved to the States earlier this year to chase his dream of playing in the NFL, swapping scrums for scrimmage.
After being part of the International Pathway, Rees-Zammit ended up signing for Super Bowl holders the Kansas City Chiefs.
“It was a great first experience,” he told the Irish NFL Show following the Chiefs’ 26-13 defeat to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
“I loved it, I loved getting the snaps I did, on special teams as well which was great. I’ve just got to look back on this, review it and see how I can get better.
“The atmosphere was great, it was pretty electric in the stadium and there was a load of Chiefs fans, which helped massively. It was a great game and I’m looking forward to the next one.”
Rees-Zammit, formerly of Gloucester Rugby, ditched rugby for the NFL despite becoming a British and Irish Lion in 2021.
