Chiefs sign former rugby star Louis Rees-Zammit after NFL’s radical kickoff rule change
NY Post
The NFL’s drastic new kickoff rules have the Chiefs thinking outside the box — and the sport.
The back-to-back Super Bowl champs have agreed to a contract with rugby star Louis Rees-Zammit on Friday and he is being viewed as a wide receiver/running back, according to ESPN.
The report says his “biggest impact” may come via special teams and as a return specialist.
The 23-year-old reportedly wowed Kansas City during a workout earlier in the week, and he also visited with the Jets, Browns and Broncos, per Bleacher Report.
Rees-Zammit, a Wales native, is labeled by ESPN as “by far the biggest rugby star” attempting to make the NFL via the International Player Pathway.
After starring in England with Gloucester, he announced in February his plans to play in the NFL.
