International Players Pathway graduate has signed a three-year deal to become an exciting new addition to the Chiefs roster.
The speedy ex-rugby star has made the brave decision to leave behind his profession in rugby and pursue an NFL career.
He was successful in his transition and attracted the attention of multiple franchises.
Nonetheless, it was not a hard choice to make when offered a contract by the reigning world champions.
Louis Rees-Zammit set for versatile role in Missouri
The Welshman looks set to be a multi-functional player, he could be used as a wide receiver, running back, and special teams returner.
According to Sportac, the Chiefs’ unique signing has penned a three-year deal worth up to $2,850,000.

He now enters a financial paradise which he would not have experienced if sticking with rugby.
Now, Rees-Zammit will be focused on building bonds with his new teammates and sinking his teeth into training.
Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce reach out to Rees-Zammit
The new Chiefs star spoke on The Rugby Pod about his start to life in Missouri: “Pat [Mahomes] and Travis [Kelce] both messaged me.
“Pat’s my best mate now! They said welcome to Kansas City and if I ever need anything then let me know. I’m so excited to meet everyone and get training.
“I’m going to go train with Pat and the receivers, and it’s going to be an amazing experience. There’s no one better to learn from”
Rees-Zammit has experienced a fast-paced start to life as a Chief and has already started speaking with new teammates.
Voluntary offseason workouts are starting this week for some franchises, so he will not have to wait long before training.
New Chiefs star has registered quicker speed than Tyreek Hill
One of the key assets Rees-Zammit has in his locker is his blistering speed.
He has recorded a top speed of 24.2 mph which is quicker than NFL speedsters Tyreek Hill and DK Metcalf.
Furthermore, he has been seen training this offseason on his own doing drills and improving his athleticism.
With Rashee Rice’s situation continuing to look bleak, Rees-Zammit may take on more responsibility than once thought.
