The Kansas City Chiefs are gearing up for their ‘three-peat’ aspiring season and will do so with one unique signing on the team.

Patrick Mahomes and the team have started their spring break workouts in Missouri.

Moreover, the OTAs provide an opportunity for teammates to reacquaint themselves back into the NFL schedule and new signings can build bonds with new coworkers.

New signing Marquise Hollywood Brown has wasted no time getting to work with the Chiefs.

The wide receiver joined Patrick Mahomes in Texas to begin working on their chemistry which can add a new dynamic to the offense.

In addition, one of the most unique signings of the entire offseason has been settling down into the team.

Louis Rees Zammit joined the International Players Pathway and was recruited by the Chiefs on a three-year deal.

Rees-Zammit signed as a hybrid threat for the Chiefs offense

The former rugby star has journeyed across the Atlantic Ocean to pursue his dream of an NFL career.

He is set to join the Chiefs squad as a multi-functional player, adopting positions like wide receiver, running back, and on the special teams.

Furthermore, Rees-Zammit’s blistering speed gives him a chance of becoming the kick returner, especially with the new rule change.

Kelce explains initial months will ‘be a humbling experience’ for Rees-Zammit

Nonetheless, Travis Kelce spoke about the Welshman’s signing and explained the realistic challenge he faces.

On the New Heights podcast, the tight end stated: “Louis is down there [in Missouri] working hard. It’s going to be a humbling experience. It is going to be a humbling experience at first.

“It’s not easy to make that jump, they’re two completely different games [Rugby and American Football]. He is an athlete and that’s what the Chiefs signed. He’s a smart kid and a smart player. So, he’s gonna be able to pick up the offense eventually, but it is going to be a tough few initial months for him.”

The Welshman will fight for a spot on the Chiefs final 53-man roster

Kelce believes he has the potential to make it in the game but reiterates that he must absorb as much information as he can in a short window of time.

Ultimately, the battle Rees-Zammit faces is making the 53-man roster after the mid-July training camp.

He will battle fellow teammates to earn the right to be on the final 2024 season roster.
