Among the players cut by the Kansas City Chiefs on Tuesday was Welsh rugby star Louis Rees-Zammit, who was among the team’s most heavily publicized players during training camp.
Signed as part of the NFL’s International Player Pathway program in the 2024 offseason, Rees-Zammit showed promise in all three of Kansas City’s preseason games, but his inexperience showed.
Despite the Chiefs’ decision to move on from him, Rees-Zammit is still a prospect who should be on the radars of football fans around the country, who only got a first glimpse of what he is capable of over the last few weeks.

Though his time in Kansas City has come to an end for now, Rees-Zammit is likely to be a candidate to sign with the Chiefs’ practice squad if he isn’t offered a deal on another team’s 53-man roster in the next few days.
Stay tuned to see where Rees-Zammit lands after his release on Tuesday.
