Louis Rees-Zammit began life with the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday as the former rugby star practiced for the first time with the defending Super Bowl champions.
The 23-year-old Welshman, who landed in Kansas City via the NFL's International Player Pathway program, signed a reported three-year, $2.85million deal with the team in March and was seen at the franchise's rookie minicamp on Saturday.
Wearing the No. 9, Rees-Zammit could be seen practicing alongside other rookies and fellow roster hopefuls in pictures from the session.
In a video posted to X, the running back was also seen taking a handoff from quarterback Spencer Sanders before fielding a punt.
Rees-Zammit is expected to serve as a returner for the Chiefs and it's his play on special teams which could determine whether or not he makes the roster.
