Louis Rees-Zammit, the former Wales and British & Irish Lions rugby star, has embarked on a new chapter in his career by moving to America to pursue his NFL dream with the Kansas City Chiefs. Rees-Zammit has been in the spotlight for receiving texts from NFL greats Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, which he revealed in interviews. His transition to American football has been described as a 'whirlwind' three-month journey, during which he has expressed that the NFL training was 'easier' compared to Wales' brutal Rugby World Cup camp in Turkey and Switzerland. Despite the challenges and the stark differences in training regimes, Rees-Zammit is determined to make the Chiefs' playing roster, fully aware that his NFL career could end 'in a heartbeat'. He hopes to contribute immediately as a kick returner, while his entire family moves with him to the US to support his ambitions.
