Rugby star Louis Rees-Zammit visits Browns

First, the Scottish Hammer. Now, Rees Lightning.

The Cleveland Browns have brought in Louis Rees-Zammit for a visit and workout on Thursday, a league source confirmed for the Akron Beacon-Journal. Rees-Zammit recently quit professional rugby to pursue an NFL career.

At the NFL International Pro Day, Rees-Zammit (6’-3”, 209 pounds) ran a 4.44 in the 40. He told scouts that he has run in the 4.2s and 4.3s before. Rees-Zammit impressed with a 29-inch vertical jump and 9’-7” in the broad jump.

He has been clocked running 24.2 mph. No, not a misprint.
