Welsh rugby star Louis Rees-Zammit welcomes the chance to play a new position with a new NFL team

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Louis Rees-Zammit always envisioned himself as an NFL receiver. “I think I’m much better off playing receiver with my size and strength,” Rees-Zammit said following practice Wednesday. I’m loving training at receiver and I’m loving learning the role and am going to continue to improve.” Kansas City waived Rees-Zammit in final cuts last week, letting him go after he ran six times for 22 yards and caught one pass for 3 yards in the preseason. Practice squad players work the same amount as guys on the 53-man roster, but they don’t get paid as much and would need to be promoted to the active roster to play in a game. I’ve loved it ever since watching my first game on TV, never mind in real life.” His father’s “first love of sport” was American football, and the then-Washington Redskins were their team.
