Louis Rees-Zammit, the former Welsh rugby star, transitioned to the NFL in 2024, initially signing with the Kansas City Chiefs as a running back. After being released, he joined the Jacksonville Jaguars’ practice squad as a wide receiver. However, his contract with the Jaguars expired at the end of the 2024 season, leaving his NFL future uncertain.
As of January 16, 2025, Rees-Zammit is a free agent. The Jaguars have not yet decided whether to re-sign him. Rees-Zammit has acknowledged the challenges of his transition from rugby to American football, noting the difficulties and doubters he has encountered.
Given his athleticism and previous experience with the Jaguars’ practice squad, Rees-Zammit may seek to rejoin the team or explore opportunities with other NFL franchises. His next move will depend on the interest of NFL teams and his continued development as a wide receiver.
