Louis Rees-Zammit speaks as a Kansas City Chief player! ⭕ 

One thing I’m not sure the American fans realise is how good a rugby player and how good a career he has walked away from. He wasn’t just a pro rugby player. He was one of the brightest talents in world rugby. I hope he gets a chance. He obviously has a lot to learn, but unlike most rookies, he completely understands pro sport… the dedication, training, mindset, pressure… etc.

How well does he come across. So mature and well spoken for his age with the interest of the whole country watching his progress.

What an inspiration this young man is. He is the definition of chasing your dreams. I'm backing him to succeed... Much respect from South Africa.

This guy is impressive. He knows he’s new to the sport but while respecting the challenge he is also aware of his natural ability. I really hope he succeeds.

As a South African rugby fan its a pity he has left rugby but I do hope the bloke makes it in the NFL.

As a Welshman I was gutted when he first announced he was leaving rugby, definitely a little angry too. Now that a little time has passed I couldn't wish him more luck for he future, make Wales known in the NFL!!

The American press is going to LOVE this guy! Hope we see a lot of LRZ!

I really hope he makes the team and gets some time on the field, I've only been following American football the last 3ish years but I'm a massive rugby fan.

Rees love you all the way from Wales, fly high ❤

Great interview. Great responses from Louis. Very natural and charming. Good luck Louis from back here in Wales. Watching your journey with interest and rooting for you. I hope you can contribute and be a great asset to The Chiefs.

For anyone who hasn't watched it I would highly recommend going and watching the international player pathway videos. They follow LRZ through the camp all the way up until he is signed with the Chiefs it's pretty amazing.

wishing him all the best from the UK, go and be special

If he can crack the game, he has the charm, intelligence and looks to be very marketable. I'm sure all Louis is thinking about is the on-field aspect. Good luck to him. He was a very good rugby player. You have to be to play for the British and Irish Lions.

󠁧Go on Zammo, doing Wales proud boy 🔴🔴 💪

The US pundits are very confused with how the Chiefs are handling LRZ. They couldn't envisage him making the grade but he seems to have defied expectations, and coaches are very impressed. This has lead to the Chiefs not going after more wide receivers and other offensive players that they were expected to go for. Rookie mini camp seems to have opened some disbelieving eyes.

I really like this guy 😎 can’t wait to watch him play!! He’s got a positive attitude and he’s mentally sharp! He should do well!!

Welcome Louis, I’ll be rooting for you to meld into a new style star!!

Really happy for him 👍

Release the Welsh Dragon onto the other teams in the NFL. Go Louis and GO CHIEFS

He’s still in the Welsh colours! Good luck to him

Great work Louis! Brilliant stuff

Seahawks fan, really love what this kid brings to the game and the Chiefs are a great place for him. Hope he makes the roster it will be huge. I can see him being really good on designed screens, catching out of the backfield, He might be ELITE at wheel routes, Hook and ladder, designed laterals, getting open for a late checkdown and getting YAC for a first, he should be really good at breaking tackles with good physicality and awareness, nice speed And lots more. He is a very talented athlete. Runningback makes sense for him but he isnt really a “running back” but its the best way to get him schemed in on plays. Chiefs are so fun to watch and continue to try and change the game of football while they can with the great team they have built. Good luck this season you guys, you are always hard to beat. They want to have an explosive offense, he can add to it if he can learn quickly. He has time to develop though, no need to throw him out there when hes too raw. Good luck Louis Rees Zammit ! His arms look RIPPED by the way.

Good luck to him👏

This is very exciting to see how he progresses - massive respect and huge courage. Punt returning could be a really strong part of his game in my opinion

Nice one Louis , came over really well , Always be a Cherry and Whites legend

Glad to have him here. Welcome to Chiefs Kingdom.

C'mon Rees Lightning! I'm so intrigued to see how the Rubgy lad's from over here can transfer their running game from rugger to the NFL. All the best lad! I can see his RB running routes and style being very similar to McCaffery's!

He may be a rookie with a lot to learn technically but he is an elite level athlete and seasoned professional who has played regularly at the highest level of world rugby and has big game mentality. He has all the physical and mental tools to make it, he just needs to keep his head down and avoid all the off field distractions.

I think the whole of Wales are missing you i’m sure you will show Welsh spirit to the game in America, and it will be admired all over the world. Best of luck.

The young man come across well hope it works out for him

As a guy from the UK former rugby player I really hope he excels in the league. As a Raiders fan who has seen him play, I’m scared

He's one of many that have made the transition from one very tough contact sport to another. Remember The NFL targets track stars all the time.

He is crazy LIKEABLE!!!! Star ⭐️

it's a long shot to make a NFL 53-man roster but i'm rooting for him. even if he was on the margin of getting cut, i hope the Chiefs would give him a chance for this season. great story!

You go 👍🏻

Rees-Zammit that’s generational wealth right there

welcome lois!!!!! let’s go chiefs!!!!

Holding on to the ball and not letting opponents trip it from you is a concept I hope he is able to perfect since in rugby, they rarely try to strip the ball from each other

I don’t know anything about him but wish the young Brit all the luck in the world !

Irish man living here fan of both sports...first thing gotta make the 54 ....then we will see long time until preseason

excited to see Rees play football..

Rees mellten (Rees Lightning) Tarane (Thunder) welsh.18 welsh people signed the American declaration of independence

He's got all the attributes to become great,if hes coached well hell be brilliant

Go Louis!

As someone that follows Union as well as NFL I will definitely be keeping an eye out for him if he makes the final squad knowing how creative Andy Reid is with his plays I can see him getting in on the action

Great to see LRZ living his dream.

Rumble young man rumble wishing him the best

I like this dude

Happy for him, gutted for Welsh Rugby.

Good luck mate

Lewis!!

Good luck louis 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿👍

Good luck to the lad. Big mountain to climb but he definitely has the right attitude to go along with the athleticism.

Good luck to him

even if he doesnt start this season, he still could learn a lot. lesgoo

This is very interesting. Might watch Some kansas city just to see the change of direction for this young englishman. Correction: Welshman. Interested still all the same.

Good luck to the lad

I hope he smashes it. Come on Louis!

A gud kid, best of luck to him

Shock the world!!!

Hope he does very well for himself.

Hes going to be ok😁

I am going to call him ZOOMIT.....can't wait to see him fly down the field

Hope he can play 3 or 4 years in KC, get a ring then he can go back to dominating Rugby

he will be a super star technically skillful intelligent and good looking If he stays fit he wil be remmbererd for may years to come

CHIEFS FAN HERE LETS GO BROTHA!!

Go smash it LRZ!

Looking forward to seeing how this lad adapts! I don't watch rugby but he obviously must have caught coaches eyes with what he can do. Let's go chiefs 💪 Good luck LRZ 👍 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇺🇸🔥

Mate welldone and if you play American football aswell as you do union you will do well

Don't go losing the accent, LRZ. Best of luck!

As a Welsh man I wish him all the best as a Welsh rugby fan hope it ruins his career

I like this kid alot. he has star potential

Superstar in waiting.

Louis Rees zammit training

Ah so it’s pronounced “Lewis” and not “Louis”

give me that ball that's all he needs

I wonder what he thinks about BBQ?

Man, it's hard to not cheer for the Chiefs

Hope this guy replaces RR

As Springbok supporter and someone that has played provincial rugby for Western Province growing up, Rees-Zammit is a world class rugby player and he will dominate in the NFL, just give him a season or 2. They're in for a big surprise when they are going to try and tackle him, this guy is battle hardened from a lifetime of playing rugby without padding. he is used to jumping in the air for the ball with 7 players around him ar full pace, this will be a peace of cake for him.

What prompted you to want to come over? (If we’re honest) Money… mainly the money

Should be put in slot for sure

DeSean Jackson??? Don't drop it before you're in the Endzone

Great loss to Gloucester and Wales.

He'll make the 54, but with ball in hand hes a danger

This fella has Tyreek wheels...if he can catch it...Special... because he's been following NFL since he was a young kid and dreamt of this.

What position is he playing?!!

He’s going to be deadly behind a shield. As soon as he smells that open air he’s gone.

Hes good, but he's not in the top 10 best wingers in world rugby even. Still hopes he does well and shows all the doubters

Is this how European fans feel when an American plays soccer over there?

This guy will make it and can say this with certainty with zero knowledge of rugby and American football

Let me get ur dentist details stilllll

more articulate than all the other nfl players.

This dude trying everything he can to be a WR and not a RB. Can't say i blame him

The money I think is the answer to that question Mr Zammit

Got to stop the . Umms!

lets see how good u europeans are at REAL football

He needs to sue his dentist

I like this move but saying you’ve achieved everything in rugby is insane

speaking as a Kansas City Chief player should be more like "REFS, they are being mean!"
