The Kansas City Chiefs have taken a significant step towards solidifying their quest for an unprecedented three consecutive Super Bowl victories. Meanwhile, the Buffalo Bills are aiming for a swift roster refresh to stay competitive.
In a move that may not immediately resonate with all NFL fans, the Chiefs have signed former rugby sensation Louis Rees-Zammit, as reported by Bleacher Report’s Jordan Schultz. Rees-Zammit, who recently transitioned from rugby to pursue his NFL dream, caught the attention of scouts during his brief stint in the International Player Pathway Program. Now, he joins the Chiefs’ roster, adding a new dimension to their offense.

Rees-Zammit’s versatility is a key asset, as he is capable of contributing in various offensive roles such as running back, receiver, and punt returner. At just 23 years old, he has ample time to adjust to the demands of the NFL and refine his skills.
Known for his exceptional speed, evidenced by his impressive 40-yard dash time of 4.44 seconds, Rees-Zammit brings an element of explosiveness to the Chiefs’ lineup. With head coach Andy Reid’s reputation for incorporating innovative plays and formations, it’s conceivable that Rees-Zammit will see playing time in various offensive scenarios during the 2024 season.
