Chiefs' Louis Rees-Zammit, Former Rugby Star, Expects a 'Versatile Role' in NFL

Kansas City Chiefs running back Louis Rees-Zammit is gearing up to begin his NFL career after the rugby star signed with the team in March.

While it will be an adjustment as he transitions to a new sport, he believes he is going to have a "versatile role" with Kansas City, per ESPN's Adam Teicher.

"I've been put in the running back group to start with [but] I think it's going to be a versatile role for me,'' Rees-Zammit said. "I'm hoping the coaches are very creative here. ... It's all about me learning the playbook and learning the game because without that I can't do anything else.
