While he had decided to try his luck in another sport on the other side of the Atlantic, Louis Rees-Zammit did not fall into a bad franchise. He signed up with the Kansas City team where he will play alongside Patrick Mahomes.
It was via the “International Player Pathway” program that the 23-year-old former winger was able to leave for the United States to pursue his American football dreams. He therefore left his club Gloucester last January with the aim of finding a place in an American franchise.
Now that he's teammates with league star Patrick Mahomes, the Chiefs' quarterback, his spot isn't yet guaranteed for next season. Even if he will participate in the training camp of the double reigning champions this summer, the Welshman must still establish himself to make the 53 players who are guaranteed to be part of the team for the coming season. He will be tested at the receiver and runner positions.
