KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Louis Rees-Zammit caught a screen pass during the Kansas City Chiefs' three-day rookie camp that concluded Monday and was able to break away from defenders. For an instant, Rees-Zammit thought he was back on the rugby pitch.
"When there's open field, I feel like I'm playing rugby again,'' Rees-Zammit said. "I can use my awareness when I am in space. Then that's when I can cause the most damage.''
Rees-Zammit, 23 and an international rugby star, practiced for the first time since signing with the Chiefs in March.
