Former Wales international rugby player Louis Rees-Zammit made his Kansas City Chiefs debut in their preseason defeat against the Jacksonville Jaguars ahead of the NFL season.
Rees-Zammit announced earlier this year that he was stepping away from rugby to pursue American football, with the 23-year-old spending 10 weeks training in Florida as part of the NFL’s International Player Pathway before signing with the back-to-back reigning Super Bowl champions.
He performed as running back, kicker and kick-returner during Saturday’s match, in addition to being part of the punt coverage team, as the Jaguars beat the Chiefs 26-13 at EverBank Stadium in Florida.
He had four yards on three touches, and made one solo special teams tackle.
“It was a great first experience,” Rees-Zammit told the Irish NFL Show. “I loved it, I loved getting the snaps I did, on special teams as well which was great. I’ve just got to look back on this, review it and see how I can get better.
“I got a little kick-off, that was great, being able to play special teams is amazing. To be able to exploit different skills. But yeah, I’m happy. I’ll see how I can get better and take it onto the next game.
“The atmosphere was great, it was pretty electric in the stadium and there was a load of Chiefs fans, which helped massively. It was a great game and I’m looking forward to the next one.”
The Chiefs, who begin the regular season against the Baltimore Ravens on September 5 and will be aiming to become the first franchise to win the Super Bowl three consecutive years, continue their preseason at home to the Detroit Lions.
These two are enjoying the best moments of their lives together. See what Travis Kelce’s girlfriend said: “Meeting each other is the best thing to happen to us.” The music Icon adds “We have truly come a …”
