Rees-Zammit was known for his blistering speed and agility on the rugby field, which are coveted qualities in the NFL.<\/p>\n
But the 23-year-old’s transition has not been without its challenges, with Rees-Zammit already having played multiple positions, including running back and on special teams.<\/p>\n
Schecter believes that wide receiver might be his best fit.<\/p>\n
“Ultimately, it’s all about developing his football IQ,” Schecter explained. <\/p>\n
“He needs to absorb as much knowledge as possible about the game. It’s been tough for him, but his athleticism is undeniable, and that will give him a solid foundation.”<\/p>\n
With a new head coach on the way in Jacksonville, Rees-Zammit’s future in the NFL remains uncertain.<\/p>\n
The Jaguars have not opted to sign Rees-Zammit to a reserve\/future contract, which franchises can use to prevent players from negotiating deals with other teams.<\/p>\n
As a result, the former Wales wing is able to strike a deal with any of the NFL’s 32 teams, but he could find himself back with Jacksonville in the future.<\/p>\n
“Their season is over now and they don’t really start going back until end of March, early April,” said Schecter.<\/p>\n
“Nobody’s really in the building right now but he’s doing everything he can to make sure that he either can re-sign with the Jags or find another team.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
