Louis Rees-Zammit, one of the leading wingers in world rugby, will sign with the Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs, according to multiple reports.
Rees-Zammit, 22, has spent the last two months training in the NFL’s International Player Pathway program, an initiative launched in 2017 to recruit athletes from around the world and increase the number of international players in the league.
He completed his pro day last week, running a reported 4.43 seconds in the 40 yard dash, and at 6-foot-3, 194 pounds, projects as a running back/wide receiver in the mould of Cordarrelle Patterson.
Reez-Zammit spent 10 weeks on the IPP in Florida, culminating in this month's Pro Day, when he and other fellow international hopefuls showed off their skills in front of NFL scouts.
