12 Chiefs Who Will Be Cut By Tuesday's Roster Deadline

9. Louis Rees-Zammit, RB

Welsh rugby star Louis Rees-Zammit attempted to live out his NFL dream. Nicknamed 'Rees-Lightning', the athletic Rees-Zammit attended a pro day at South Florida in March of 2024. He garnered a lot of attention, which made sense considering he put up a 4.43 in the 40-yard dash and played a violent game such as rugby.

Following his workout, he explained why it meant so much to him to have this opportunity.

"It's always been on my mind," Rees-Zammit said after his tryout. "My dad has been a massive role model to me because he brought me up loving the sport. He played the sport when he was younger so it's quite easy to love the game because I've been watching it from such a young age. So, it's always been in the back of my head, but it's just amazing to finally do it now."

He had several teams interested but chose the Kansas City Chiefs, who decided to give him a shot at running back. He didn't do much in the first two preseason games but had a solid outing against Chicago. He ripped off a 10-yard run, the longest of his short career, and finished with 21 yards on four attempts.

It's not going to be enough to make the team with Isiah Pacheco, Deneric Prince, and Clyde Edwards-Helaire all ahead of him. But it should be enough for him to get a shot on the practice squad. That is, unless another team decides to take a chance with a waiver claim.
