Rees-Zammit signed a three-year contract with the Chiefs – typifying the faith shown in the Welshman by Andy Reid’s team as IPP players aren’t guaranteed any length of contract.<\/p>\n
He has also been given a guaranteed salary in addition to a signing bonus.<\/p>\n
He has targeted a hybrid role playing at both wide receiver and running back, and his next task will be to try to earn a regular-season roster spot.<\/p>\n
He was one of 16 players to take part in the 2024 IPP, a 10-week crash course designed to teach the required skills to succeed in the NFL.<\/p>\n
The ex-Gloucester player – who has won 32 caps for Wales, scoring 14 tries – showcased his skills at University of South Florida’s Pro Day earlier this month, with scouts from all 32 NFL teams in attendance.<\/p>\n
While he did not test at an extremely high level in all metrics, his pace was impressive and up to the standard of NFL wide receivers.<\/p>\n
Now with the Chiefs, Rees-Zammit will be competing with the rest of the off-season squad to earn a place on Kansas City’s final 53-man active roster for the 2024 season, which begins in September.<\/p>\n
If he does not make it, Rees-Zammit is likely to spend his first season on Kansas City’s practice squad.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
