Chiefs HC Reid Reveals Strategy for Louis Rees-Zammit's Transition from Rugby to NFL

After six seasons as a professional rugby player, Louis Rees-Zammit is going to need some time to adjust to playing with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Luckily for the Chiefs, head coach Andy Reid says the Welsh winger's rugby success will aid his transition to the NFL.

"He's somewhat familiar with the sport, he sure has had success in rugby, and there's some similarities there," Reid told reporters Monday. "It's a contact sport, and he's had to catch the ball, and do those things, and run with the ball."

Reid's comments come around the nine-minute mark of the video below.
