Louis Rees-Zammit Faces Uncertain NFL Future

Louis Rees-Zammit showcased promise in his final preseason game with the Kansas City Chiefs but is unlikely to secure a spot on the active roster for the upcoming NFL season. The 23-year-old, who transitioned from rugby to American football earlier this year, signed a three-year deal with the Chiefs as part of the NFL's International Player Pathway program. In the game against the Chicago Bears, he recorded four carries for 21 yards and impressed on special teams with a 36-yard kick return. Despite his solid performance, competition for spots on the team is fierce, and he may spend the season on the practice squad instead. Chiefs head coach Andy Reid acknowledged Rees-Zammit's athleticism and potential but noted the need for greater familiarity with the game. The deadline for roster cuts is approaching, leaving Rees-Zammit in a state of anticipation regarding his NFL future.
