Louis Rees-Zammit: Ex-Wales rugby star to meet Super Bowl winners Kansas City Chiefs

Obviously this is a long way from him being ready to play or the Chiefs actually signing him, but given Kelce’s penchant for laterals and the generally innovative way that Mahomes likes to play it would be interesting to see how they work with a rugby international like LRZ
Obviously he’s as raw as it gets and some would label this a gimmick signing, but the potential is all upside, IMO. Yes he could be hopeless, but imagine if he has some skills? True because of Pat, Trav and 3 titles our brand is far reaching, but to keep growing it overseas? Why not?
Honestly, if he learns how to protect the ball while returning kicks, he’d be an upgrade over pretty much everyone else we’ve trotted out the past 5 years.
I’m just here to upvote for Wales. Cyrmu am byth! We fly the Dragon in Kansas…even during these dark times for the national side.
Would be absolutely wild to have a Welsh rugger at Arrowhead every Sunday.
So he’s 6’3” 194 lbs and runs a 4.4.
With that build I’d thing WR or safety. But seems like the rugby skill set he’d be more of a tall skinny running back. Hmm.
Kick returner- if they still have them
since the article doesnt say and Ive not watched enough Rugby to know what a winger is, what position is he trying to become and what are his physical traits?
I am all for a great underdog story! Let’s go!!! 🙂
