*****The Louis Rees-Zammit Thread*****
[Doing a rare **player thread** for a non-drafted player so we can have a centralized repository for all things LRZ aka 'Rees Lightning'. Here's a link to the original LRZ signing thread by RunKC.]


Highlights







Podcast where he talks about the signing (and mentions he can run a 4.2 forty; he'll be a KR at first, then slot/HB when he learns the plays.)



LRZ meeting the crew and getting a Mahomes/Stroupe workout in

Probably just figure that he's closer to relevant than the OT they had under the exemption last season. Don't remember his name, but they carried him on the PS all season last year and that's where that exemption becomes useful.

If they think Rees-Zammit may actually make the squad this year, use the protection on the OT because by all accounts last season, that guy was FAAAAAR away, but incredibly athletic/talented.

Probably just basic resource allocation - one slot, use it on the guy who's less likely to make the team but with a slightly higher ceiling, thus a far better candidate for the international exemption anyway (which wouldn't apply if Rees-Zammit is a roster player)

With the new kickoff rules I would think Louis would be the perfect fit. I am kind of excited to see what he can do because he can fly and is probably tough as nails.

At a minimum he feels like he could be a special teams guy in year one.

If he can be a gunner on punts, do kickoff duty, and return kicks...then he could be a valuable asset for us.

The idea of a 4.35-4.4 guy screaming down on Punt Gods punts is a fun thought.

Rees-Zammit’s best moment during the minicamp occurred Sunday. On this rep, the offense executed everything perfectly. The play was designed for Rees-Zammit: a screen pass to the right side of the field.
“It’s amazing,” Rees-Zammit said while smiling and laughing. “When there’s open field, I feel like I’m playing rugby again. I can use my awareness when I’m in space and that’s when I can cause the most damage. The more I can do that, the more I can help the team.”

Rees-Zammit smoothly caught the pass from quarterback Chris Oladokun in rhythm and quickly accelerated upfield, sprinting past midfield in a running style that still appears more similar to rugby than football — shorter steps than long strides, the ball held higher and closer to his chest than the average running back and his torso upright rather than learning forward.
“I was sort of picking at him a little bit,” Oladokun said of Rees-Zammit. “You just see Louis running down the field in his little rugby run.”
No defender touched Rees-Zammit because they couldn’t. He maintained his speed while evading multiple defenders, making two cuts that led to him having a clear path to enter the end zone, a rep that ended in a 60-yard touchdown.
“I thought he was going to dive in the end zone,” Reid joked while laughing. “He’s done a good job of working on holding the ball. (Rugby players) do hold it a little bit different, a bigger ball and not quite as pointy as a football. He’ll learn the pad level the first time he gets hit.
“I like the fact that he’s got shorter steps initially. That’s a good thing as a running back. If you’re a long strider in there, you’ve got to really work on making it through those tight (running lanes). He seems to have a nice feel, though.”
Quote:
Growing up in Penarth, Wales, Rees-Zammit learned about the NFL from Joseph Zammit, his father who became so passionate about the sport that he played in the British American Football Association in 1987 for the Cardiff Tigers as a receiver and running back. Rees-Zammit often watched NFL games alongside his father. As his own passion for the NFL grew, Rees-Zammit said one of his favorite players was receiver DeSean Jackson, who played 15 seasons in the league and began his career under Reid with the Philadelphia Eagles.
“From the age of probably 11 or 12, I used to watch (Jackson’s highlights) on YouTube all the time,” Rees-Zammit said. “He was definitely one where his speed was absolutely outrageous. His change of direction was unbelievable.
“Every Sunday, I’d be staying up late,” Rees-Zammit said. “Obviously, the time difference is five to six hours. My dad is a massive mentor for me and a role model. I achieved everything I wanted to in rugby, so I thought now was the perfect time.”
Quote:
When he wasn’t catching passes or exerting himself in training exercises, Rees-Zammit said he spent as much time as he could next to Mahomes and Oladokun, asking as many questions as he could to learn about the running back and receiver positions and the many intricacies of the Chiefs’ offense. He also spent two weeks living alongside Oladokun in a rented house.
“I told my mom (Jennifer Carter) when I left Texas that I learned more about Louis in those two weeks than I probably know about my own brother (Jordan) — and me and my brother are super close,” Oladokun said. “I think (Rees-Zammit) has a really good personality, and I think he’s going to fit really well into the culture here. He’s been a professional athlete since he was 16. He’s going to be a great addition.”

For reference, Tyreek runs a 10.19 100m…He ran a 10.4 which is impressive, but even more so given he’s also 5 inches taller and 35 pounds heavier than tyreek.

He was clocked 24.2 mph in a rugby match.

That IS weird. Does his wife tell him what she was thinking after he and LRZ are done, or is she in the room with them verbalizing a stream-of-consciousness monologue, like some sort of gay sex Tony Romo?
