Andy Reid discusses Louis Rees-Zammit’s transition from rugby to the NFL

The Kansas City Chiefs made an intriguing move this offseason with the signing of rugby sensation Louis Rees-Zammit.

With the recent kickoff rule changes sparking anticipation for increased returns, the Chiefs secured the 23-year-old’s services, hoping that his rugby skill set transfers over into becoming the team’s return specialist for the upcoming season.

As the team begins voluntary offseason workouts this week, Kansas City head coach Andy Reid spoke to reporters on Monday and shared his initial thoughts on the team’s newest addition.

“He was introduced to [football] when he was young,” started Reid, chatting about Rees-Zammit’s football background.
