THE CHIEFS SIGNED HIM!! FIRST TIME WATCHING! Louis Rees-Zammit ULTIMATE HIGHLIGHTS!(REACTION) 

He got a 4.43 official 40 time at 6'3 210 but appearantly he had low 4.3s and high 4.2s in practice. Also he is signed as a WR/RB

He also clocked a running speed of 24 mph in a rugby match , and 100m in 10.4 seconds

The important thing to remember is that as a back he needs to be able to run with the ball, pass it, recieve it, tackle and wrestle for the ball. The big difference between the sports, in addtion to how to run, how to tackle, how to be tackled and how to pass is that In rugby every player needs a much wider set of skills. LRZ regularly performed the tasks of linebackers, safties, wide reciever, running back and quarterback along with the occasional interlude as defensive or offensive tackle.

what a player. we’ll miss him here in Wales. I hope he does well. I can’t believe that compilation didn’t show his best ever try though imo. his try for Wales against fiji when he kicked it from his own half and managed to get past everyone to score the try just before it went out.

Chiefs have signed an absolute monster ,he will be a star.

As a Welsh man, I'm sad to see him go. He's rapid fast and had a massive future. But wish him all the best.

Good luck Louis from your home country Wales. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

He's gonna be a star over there mate. He has everything. Pace ,power, handling, kicking how elusive he is he has a good chance to do well

To all KC fans, enjoy having our Wonder Boy from Wales. I hope he shows what magic he has... he's a Beast & only getting better !!! Much luv from Wales. "Cymru & LRZ Am Byth 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿💚"

He really is a gem. Not just speed but technical ability, very good player

There is talks about him playing kick receiver in the new kick off rule, or running back or wide receiver

With the new kick off rule, he could be an awesome kick return

Love the positivity! Go chiefs kingdom 👑!

Our loss is your gain. Enjoy the formally most exciting player in Welsh rugby. Cracking player, cracking athlete!

Rees Lightning! Let’s go!!!

Being an exceptional Rugby player doesn`t guarantee success in the NFL, but I wish this young man well & hope he can excite the KC fans.

A generational talent. Has it all. Speed, power, agility, hunger, determination and he’s a very proud Welshman. Good luck boyo. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

At 7:16 with the kick by him. It was a fifty twenty two from were you kick from your own half and it lands in the opposition 22 (in NFL terms, over the gain line) after that. They team who got it regain the ball from where it went out from.

yo my man,.hope your good, as the man is formally known in his home country CYMRU/WALES, as LRZ, i personally believe that he is gonna light it up. and the attitude towards physical attributes is a superb base to start with. it tends to be the basis of most sports in this present time; especially those that are of a physical, gladiatorial battle. however those who possess those physical attributes, whether naturally of jabbing as we say in wales, only gets you there, its having the mental edge that makes you great. this young boyo (BTW im a taffy born and bred) has done the business in front of 80,000 (carl froch haha). i think you are going and the rest of the american nfl fans to have an good exposure and eye opener to rugby. everyone in WALES supports kansas chiefs now haha. safe p.s good luck bruv/butt

He's young, proven performance under massive pressure, has the skillset and grew up watching nfl. It was an easy option for Reid, 3 years signing him at practice squad rates. I can't see any downside for the cheifs even just on the practice squad he has the experience of playing both sides of the ball and will be worth it for that ability to pivot alone

Yooo the world is mad man, I recently started looking at football, I'd watched some reaction vids to rugby (my favourite sport) by nfl guys like you, then suddenly rees zammit gets signed and now I see you talking about him in the nfl, mad man I feel like I'm destined to be a chiefs fan now lol

Be patient with him. Let him adapt. Get behind him and he will do good. And be loyal

I'm Irish and a massive rugby fan, but I also love NFL and I've been a huge Chiefs fan since the days of Christian Okoya. I'm very interested to see how LRZ manages the transformation from Rugby to NFL. He has all the skills the power and the speed. I know he's down as a RB or WR but would have loved to also see him as a kick receiver as he's deadly in open field. But I understand you cant be everything lol.

The games when he's in red he's representing wales in international matches so he's playing the best of the best and still makes it look easy at times

I've never once in my life run so fast that when I hit the ground I slid like 8 feet. Must be fun.

Glad to hear you talking about KO returns, I think he'd excel at that from what I've seen of football, cus in rugby you have to catch high kicks a lot and you're used to everyone trying to smash you as you run it back....could be sensational, no?

Fairly sure he got signed as a kick returner in order to exploit the new kick off rule change in the NFL. It plays out exactly like rugby which are his strengths. Once you get past the "wall" it's open ground to a TD. As you can see in the footage, he doesn't have many issues with that. Not sure how the NFL equipment will hinder him though. Wearing all that extra gear might slow him down.

All the Aussie punters in the NFL are ex AFL/Aussie rule's players not Rugby players. Eagles Jordan Mailata is a ex Australian rugby league player, Valentin Holmes now back playing Australian NRL played at RB for the Jet's, Jarrod Hayne former Australian NRL rugby league player played RB & both end's special teams for the 49ers. Albeit these are Australian rugby league not rugby union player's. Two different sporting code's but similar.

Can catch a high ball, acceleration, hits stride after a step or two, has played in massive stadiums. Chiefs could have a legit kick returner. Also, Mahomes love a trick play so maybe somewhere on ST utilising his lateral passing, for example. Dude can throw a ball 30m laterally without turning onto dominant side

LRZ would make a good kick receiver. You don't see it in the highlights, but in rugby, there's a lot of annoying ball tennis where one team will kick the ball away in the hope that the opposition will drop the ball and lead to a scrum. If LRZ was bad under a high ball, he wouldn't have made the grade. Hope LRZ can find a role with the chiefs and show off his skills.

As others said, between 4.2 and 4.43 during the IPP camp. He has an unofficial 10.4 on his very first 100m dash (Indoors, no cleats, stopwatch timing, no blocks). Clocked at around 26mph during a game. Freak of an athlete to play 80 minutes

He does play for wales international rugby team

First jersey of the 2024 season I will be purchasing, I’m from the UK so seen his whole career. His dad used to play euro football so it’s in the kids blood. Looking for the Kelce lateral too Zammit for the TD

He's an exciting talent no doubt, i will miss him in Rugby but wish him all the best in his chosen sport 💪👍

Going to be interesting to watch. Reid will find a way to make it work.

Many many years ago South Africa's best goal kicker (Naas Botha) went over to become a kicker in the NFL, didn't really work out AFAIK.

Sooooo your favorite two Welshmen are now REN and LRZ good times..........

enjoyed that video buddy nice seeing an American watching rugby not asking or saying dumb things lol, respect to you, i hope he does what luka doncic coming from Spain to NBA and lighting league up regardless of the doubters , say this alot europeans play think different , its a lot brawn vs brains in the way europe and america play sports

I hope he makes it. But to my mates from across the pond he's going against people that have played their whole lives at the highest level. But with his speed if anyone can make it work it's the Chiefs. As for rugby players versus NFL players being athletic it's just a different sport people. Rugby's about stamina NFL is about short bursts of speed or if your a lineman basically you're a sumo wrestler

Rees Lightning!!!

He's the fastest thing on legs in the U.S at the moment, he's a power house, no helmets needed. Enjoy him wile you can, he's the real deal all the best from Wales

I’m hearing he’s likely to be available to play either RB or WR. Possibly alternating.

He'll be pulling all the Kansas City birds.

There are some AFL players that would fit right into an NFL roster. Byron Pickett would have been a crazy RB

They got him down as RB on the insta post

Ya Chiefs have a real speedster!!! Commited strong and focused 3 peat it will be wild if he makes Superbowl in first season Our loss your gain

As a wales and nfl fan - I’m excited to see how Zammit does. Once he learns the gaps, his talent and speed could cause some problems

I wonder about his position. WR is a highly technical position, and you're having to catch a ball with your back turned, with a helmet limiting vision. RB? Definitely a returner.

With the new kick return rules, we are going to watch him juke around defenders 🎉

You can see since being in America zammit has put on a few pounds on and is not as fast or nimble...cant wait to see him tear it up tho 🤟

He's fast. He's smart. He's got good hands and absolutely understands big game pressure. If he's given the coaching he deserves he will be capable. We get that it's a different sport but his fundamentals are there. Pure pace. Used to contact. Used to attacking open field space. He'll add value to their brand.

That's my team - Gloucester! The cherry and whites! We are the boys from Gloucester this is true!

RB/WR but could be used as kick or punt return.

how on earth is he going to suppress the urge to lateral every time he is tackled? No matter how they coach him I bet he does it at some point in a game. Instinct :)

Zammit's dad played NFL in the UK so he has a bit of background. He's grade A* on a rugby pitch.

he is fast as hell and can catch a ball from behind, catching a ball going forward is easy for him, he won't need padding he is a MAN

WR, and the new rules say no safe kicks - he will be the one to return the kick off

Yeah he runs 4.24 brah 😱😳😲😍💛❤️yeah that crazy brah kc signed him just case we can't get WR brah in draft KC is smart brah

Remember the Kap was with the Niners and they signed Jarrod Hayne? I was so hyped but Harbaugh didn't have enough time to develop him. He did play a little, but honestly I don't think he was ready for the physicality.

He is playing half back with option to be a wr

Known to us LRZ

My biggest concern is will he learn how to read defense and most importantly block! Rugby don’t block players coming at you full speed at different sizes. If not he’ll be a back up for a long time.

he's fast, but not the best in his position at elite levels of rugby. Wish him all the best for the NFL. Enjoy the huge wealth.

Can he lateral to one of his blockers? That might be fun to see!

He got a 4.5 in the 40 yard dash I mean it's average but when he was practising he got like 4.4 4.3 something like that

Hope for the best for him but he's never been hit like they hit in the NFL. He's a long shot no doubt.

If you convert the numbers. His top speed so far of 24.2 mph is equivalent to a 3.38 40yd dash. Just a bad day at the office on pro-day.

I've been low on him but hope he proves me wrong.

Winger in Rugby so kinda like a WR

Not a chance he doesn’t suit up for games😊

I heard he was 4.43 on Forty.

On the IPP they were pushing him as WR, but I could not understand, why he could not be WR/RB/FB/KR/PR because he has played wing and full back in rugby to the highest level and full back in rugby is a tough position

ceiling of Debo.

I hope ress lightning does well

It's funny you're trying to find a nickname for him when he has one already. IT'S REES LIGHTNING

He has signed as a RB and WR

his only chance is having a knack for returning punts (maybe kickoffs now with the new rule???)

Where you from tho?... We got a lil BK out this way for you... Find Brooklyn Republic.

All rugby back three player can catch the ball. If they fumble once they will lose huge territory. They have to be able to catch. WR punt return. I reckon.

LRS is a useful player. But I can think of several dozen others who would offer far greater potential. If you include Rugby League (a similar but separate sport fielding thirteen players instead of fifteen which is where Jordan Mailata came from) then you could double that figure. I mean, a guy like Eben Etzebeth would be an elite player in just about every collision sport. But he's too old to be switching sports now.

Also I know he ain't a big lad, but this kid can tackle if something goes wrong he can wrap someone's legs up

I think your coach is thinking outside the box. American football can steal a bit of handling of the ball from rugby. You get so used to playing the game in one way that you think that's the only way it can be done.

Hes welsh he will definitely snap a tendan. Its a thing.

Also one more thing... The NFL is a different beast! There are some really, let's just call them, not so intelligent players that don't protect their heads. In rugby there's no helmets, in the NFL these players use their heads as a weapon. So can he take a full hit in the NFL, because in rugby, there's nothing protecting their heads, so they protect themselves.

Rees Lightning!

Official 40 is 4.43 unofficial is a mid 4.2

LRZ is much easier. GOOD LUCK KID

He'll be playing running back

I'll give you a BIG CLUE STOP CUSSING!!BAD EXAMPLE, KIDS ARE WATCHING.

dude u gotta change your intro lol

You're top I'm america not the world, the world doesn't watch nfl or play it.

Louie Lightning...

Its all about the money but will he be bored? Its not exactly the most exciting sport in the world! Imagine if they just use him as a kicker! Whata waste that would be.

I see a lot of hip drop tackles, no contact hits and a lot of white guys running around 🤣

'Rugby Star' is a bit of a stretch. He's a 'star' in Wales for rugby but thats about it.

That’s that Cristiano Ronaldo pace

i give him 1 year

Oh, this is a non binary channel.

Take care of him cos he’s on loan and wales want him back in a few years ha.. only just turned 23 and to think won’t be in his prime untill 27..

I think it is so Kelsi can throw more laterals. Forward!! Rugby throws back only
