Rees-Zammit has been getting to know his Kansas City Chiefs team-mates at rookie minicamp, having been given a three-year contract with the reigning Super Bowl champions.<\/p>\n

The former Wales wing is competing with the rest of the Chiefs’ off-season squad to earn a spot on their 53-man roster for the 2024 season.<\/p>\n

As well as learning the new skills required to succeed in the NFL, Rees-Zammit said he is spending every minute getting to grips with the Chiefs’ playbook, which is “like learning a new language”.<\/p>\n

“I’ve been trying to learn as much football as I can,” said Rees-Zammit.<\/p>\n

“Every team has their own playbook and a certain language they use.<\/p>\n

“You probably learn up to 1,000 plays throughout the season in the NFL, which shows how much there is to learn.<\/p>\n

“Whereas in rugby, you probably learn 60, so it’s something I’m completely new to, but I’m loving learning it.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
