Louis Rees-Zammit, the former Wales rugby star, is on the verge of a groundbreaking move to the Super Bowl champions, the Kansas City Chiefs, as he inches closer to realizing his NFL dream. Having left rugby in January to pursue a career in American football via the NFL International Player Pathway (IPP), Rees-Zammit has impressed NFL scouts, leading to contract discussions with several teams.
Mail Sport has reported that Rees-Zammit and the Chiefs have reached an agreement, with the final details of the contract still being ironed out. The 23-year-old is expected to sign the contract on Friday, joining a team boasting top talents like Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce.
Rees-Zammit’s journey from rugby to the NFL has been met with skepticism, but his imminent signing with the Chiefs marks a significant achievement.

Despite his lack of experience in American football before joining the IPP, Rees-Zammit’s athleticism and performance have earned him a shot at the highest level of football. If he secures a full-time contract, he’ll join the Chiefs for summer camp, aiming to make the 53-man roster for the upcoming NFL season.
Barker will not join Rees-Zammit
However, YouTuber Saffron Barker will not accompany Rees-Zammit on his new adventure as the couple have split, just four months after their red carpet debut at “The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes” premiere.
Barker confirmed the breakup last week, despite denying rumors earlier. Observant fans noted the couple had unfollowed each other on Instagram, among other signs of trouble.
