Rees-Zammit needs to be quicker to crack NFL
The Straits Times|October 02, 2024

Rees-Zammit needs to be quicker to crack NFL

Former Wales wing Rees-Zammit shocked the rugby world in January when, at the age of 22, he announced he was going to try to crack the NFL. He initially worked with the Kansas City Chiefs but, after being released, is now part of the Jacksonville Jaguars' practice squad.

With the Jags playing the Chicago Bears and the New England Patriots in two of three NFL games in London that kick off with the New York Jets against the Minnesota Vikings on Oct 6, Rees-Zammit is the No. 1 topic of conversation among fans.
