Former Wales rugby player Louis Rees-Zammit has made a career transition to American football, joining the NFL’s Kansas City Chiefs at the age of 23. After achieving significant milestones in his rugby career, including playing for Wales and the British and Irish Lions, Rees-Zammit pursued professional football in the United States. He is now training as a kick-returner and running back, showing promise due to his speed and adaptability. Coached by Andy Reid, Rees-Zammit is adapting to the strategic aspects of American football and is focused on honing his skills in this new sporting context.

In other NFL-related news, Travis Kelce, already celebrated for his sporting achievements, is expanding his career into acting. Kelce, also a player for the Kansas City Chiefs, has secured a role in Ryan Murphy’s upcoming horror drama series, “Grotesquerie,” scheduled to be released in the US this autumn. Known for his relationship with pop star Taylor Swift, Kelce has recently ventured into the entertainment industry, hosting Saturday Night Live and being named the host of the quiz show “Are You Smarter Than A Celebrity?” In “Grotesquerie,” he will work alongside actors such as Niecy Nash-Betts, Courtney B Vance, and Lesley Manville. The series marks Kelce’s first significant acting endeavour, following the tradition of non-traditional actors in Murphy’s projects.
