Patrick Mahomes and multiple players have been spotted training privately before the official franchise workouts began.

If they are to hunt down the three-peat, they must be on the game from the get-go as off-seasons can decide Super Bowls.

One of the most unique signings of the offseason was International Players Pathway addition Louis Rees-Zammit.

The Welshman sacrificed his promising career in rugby to pursue his dream of an NFL career.

Expectations are unclear at the moment for the 23-year-old as he started to mingle with his fellow teammates.

However, the ex-rugby star was pictured training with Patrick Mahomes and other stars in Texas.

Andy Reid spoke at the OTAs about his first impressions of the aspiring NFL player as he gets up to speed with the game.

During his press conference, Reid stated: “His [Rees-Zammit] dad played six years in a European Football League, so he’s somewhat familiar with the sport.

“He’s had success with rugby. There are some similarities there. That’s not an easy transition but he seems to be wired for it.”

Battling for a spot on the 55-ma roster will be a tough process

Reid acknowledges the process will be challenging for the new Chiefs star but is complimentary about Rees-Zammit’s attitude.

Furthermore, the journey will be a grueling one, as after finding his feet in Kansas City he will have to prepare for mid-July training camp.
