The former rugby union wing was expected to miss the pre-season contest at Arrowhead Stadium due to a back issue<\/a>.<\/p>\n But the 23-year-old shrugged off those concerns to feature in multiple roles as the reigning Super Bowl champions were beaten 24-23 by the Lions.<\/p>\n Rees-Zammit – who represented Gloucester, Wales and the British and Irish Lions in rugby union – took a kick-off in addition to spending time with the punt return team.<\/p>\n He returned a Lions kick-off for 27 yards and briefly operated as a wide receiver.<\/p>\n Following his maiden appearance at Arrowhead, Rees-Zammit told KSNT News: “I got to experience [the atmosphere] a little bit today. I’m excited for another game here next week and then we’ll see what happens.<\/p>\n “I’m trying my hardest. I’m working hard in training every day to show what I can do.<\/p>\n “The more reps I get, the better I’ll get so I’m excited to see what’s going to happen next week and obviously in the future.”<\/p>\n
