As a Wales fan I'm obviously sad to see him go but I wish all the success in the NFL. Enjoy the good times KC fans you lucky sons of... Thanks for all the good times LRZ good luck in your future career
As a rugby fan, I was sad to see him quit the Welsh team, but as an NFL fan, I'm glad he joined my team.. hope you follow on his NFL journey. It should be a fun ride.
I wish he played in the 2027 world cup
@@yodaking8764As a Kansas native we appreciate it much love ❤️
As an American fan of Wales I think some of the awesome plays he has made in rugby, if you want to get Chief's fans excited, you should probably cut a few of these plays out.
Seeing him kick and chase or pass the ball away is more likely to give them nightmares than any anticipation of great deeds to come from him.
lol yea that kick and chase to start the clip
@@John_Doe563 That's my point.
You can kick the ball but doing so gives up possession even if you regain possession.
I like to think he would be great on fumbles or kick return. There is a reason they coach fall on the ball because these guys aren't good enough to scoop and score.
As a Chiefs fan I say leave those highlights in. They excite me because it shows his ball handling skills. It means he might be able to pick up a Kadarius Toney fumble and run it in for a TD. 😅
You serious!!!.It's a different game!!! His speed and power can be used many ways by the chiefs!!! try being excited!!!!
As a rugby fan and player from argentina and Chief fan since 1993 im exciting.
Bienvenido Luis a la dinastia de los Jefes.
❤💛❤️
Woah! Argentinian who watches NFL!! Thats is cool
The first highlight has me in stitches: "What can NFL fans expect from LRZ"... Grubber kicking for 1st downs lol
😂
Wish him all the best. Physically and his speed won't be a problem for him, but to learn the rules, the playbook and the game at NFL level at the age of 23 is going to be a real test.
You ever read the Laws of Rugby?
Football is a piece of cake.
Rugby is a game that flows. The ball can easily be in play for more than 5 minutes at a time.
When play only goes 4 or 5 seconds at a time it doesn't get all that complicated.
Giannis of the nfl
He's going to be a special teams ace, elite in 4 roles:
1. Kickoff Specialist - he will be the kicker on kickoff (new rules just adopted). This gives us an extra gunner (down field tackler) on kickoff as usually your kicker is a weak tackler.
2. Punt Blocker - self explanatory
3. Personal Protector - protects punter from blocks, but also acts as a threat for the direct snap (fake punt)
4. Kick Returner/Hands Team - he will line up across Toney as KR2. His lateral tricks will come in handy. Also, his elite hands will be wanted to recover onsides kicks.
On offense, they can use him as a wildcat, which is a running back that takes a direct snap. It would only be one package for short yardage situations. Once again his lateral tricks come in handy for the option, his hands for motioning out wide (WR) for bubble screens, and motioning in from out wide for the reverse toss sweep, a play that fits him like a glove. He's going to be a fan favorite, might even make the pro bowl as the special teamer.
@@rittherugger160Football is really complicated. There’s 22 guys on the field, all with specific jobs. A playbook can have 300 or 400 plays in it, all of which need to be memorized. Football stops after every play & a new play is called & you need to know where you’re supposed to be & what route you’re supposed to run.
It’s like the difference between checkers & chess.
@@goldenageofdinosaurs7192 You think I don't know that? I was a football coach.
Had a double wing, belly series, sprintout passing attack and quadruple option (yes 4 options) back in the late 60s.. Football isn't all that complicated.
Look, He doesn't have to know the whole playbook and what everyone's job is.
At first he only needs to learn what you want him to do on a limited number of plays.
You're not asking the guy to play quarterback or even defense. All he needs to know is what to do for 3 to 5 seconds at a time. If the play last any longer than that it's because he's scoring.
Chiefs fan here. I know nothing about Rugby, but I do know a beast when I see one. He has all the tools to make it big and he is in the best place to do it with possibly the greatest Quarterback the sport has ever seen. I'm excited as hell to see this man catch a ball and smoke a few players on the field
Yeah lets see the chip and chase in nfl...cmon world rugby
😂😂😂
This didn’t rlly show much
All these moves were only in the 2023 World Cup. You say that, but you don't know that other players were not able to do the same as him
@@lucianoandrey870 The problem is, in the NFL, he has below average speed for what the Chiefs are expecting him to do.
He wasent realy round union for long to show is longevity I mean I diddent see nothink to shout about is last few games he's hachuly a traiter good bloody wage top class equipment top hotels the lot wot more coud a top sports player wont
Too see him play in uniform on NFL team will be another matter in it's self , but I wish him all the luck in the game !
Be super fun to watch him become a stud with all his physical attributes
I have no idea what I just saw, but he stands out. The guy can jet.
IKR!! WTH was that! 😂😂
In order to be a running back or wide receiver in the nfl you have to be shifty to get separation due to the fact that everyone in the nfl is fast. None of this showed any shiftiness but just sprints. Wish him the best.
It did show he understands leverage, that’s one of the biggest things on being a receiver, a lot of the best receivers aren’t super human athletic but they understand leverage so they know how to get open. The nfl is so advanced now at getting players open in space he really doesn’t need to have high footbal iq to be effective
If he is going to be a receiver then shi good luck to him. I hope his route running is good
I take that back. I have hopes for him after seeing a clip of him running routes hope he works hard cos he not bad and can improve a lot.
@@worstgamer1162 According to rumors he will be a tight end
First of all, wish him the best of luck. May he thrive and hopefully win some rings with my boy PM15
I was so confused when I saw World Rugby channel uploaded about. an NFL TEAM?!
🔥🔥❤
I hope he doesn't try that kick forward on the field sundays...lol
@@John_Doe563it absolutely is not. Once in play, if the ball hits the ground at any point, it's ruled dead.
if its intentionally fumbled yeah but if its not done intentionally the ball is live.@@joojoosasa
@@WastedBananas True, my bad. Come to think of it, is there even a rule against progressing the ball by kicking it forward after fumbling?
yes there is.@@joojoosasa
He won’t even be dressed on the sidelines most Sundays.
Here in Kansas City ., I think that he will be amazing at US football !
You didnt include his best try where his pace truly showed, the one against fiji, cant recall what year though, wasnt 2023
Many have tried many have failed i dont think we will see much difference with this kid. He will be playing rugby again within a year tops.
He has signed a 3 year contract with the chiefs
welcome to the Red Kingdom
‘And then the soo’ 💀
There are so many better clips than this of him out there 😅
Practice squad and done.
He will be able to make an impact on special teams, he has experience tackling in Rugby so he could make it as a return man or as a gunner.
he has a contract.
Massive congratulations to him.
No disrespect to Louis, but I’m confused after comparing him with other elite rugby players both union and league. How is he better than those Fijian or Pacific Island backline players? I reckon they have a good chance of getting through.
For Louis, his determination and discipline played a huge factor.
Determination and Discipline are the hallmarks of a HOF player in the NFL. So if those are what made him succeed in Rugby he will succeed in the NFL. And he choose the best possible place for it.
He picked up a good agent early on. Kim Miales from Roc Nation. A good agent, especially one already with a lot of NFL players on their books can do wonders opening doors, getting teams and coaches to be aware of you. They market you very well and he was part of the NFL IPP special program down in florida. It was always going 2 happen for him based on the new rule that every team in NFL can now add 1 extra player from the IPP onto their practice squad. Those South Sea islanders you mention from Fiji, Tonga, Samoa are the forgotten men of rugby which is a crying shame because given half a chance many of them would have just as good a chance as Rees Zammit of getting onto an NFL team if they had a good agent based in America pushing their cause and if they participated in the IPP program. I hope in time some of them get that opportunity. Or perhaps NFL scouts should start going over there to those countries to see what kind of talent there is and see who would be interested in trying a different sport.
❤❤🎉
He can run fast in a straight line. So can hundreds of football players. Good luck.
Watch other highlights
I just hope he doesn't forget what'. Sport he is playing and drop kick it. 😂
Shows a video of him kicking multiple times?? Show his ability and ability to beat a man! Not this
Kansas City Chiefs are signing a RUGBY PLAYER? 😳
What is wrong with that. The Eagles did.
Completely different games. Sad to see money make him leave Rugby… this has to be a PR move otherwise he could get seriously injured 😞
world cup wales and six nations wales are just 2 entirely different teams lol
Gosh zammet!!! He's a fast powerful runner
What a upgrade replacement for kadarius Tony!!
Nothing - he's done a 10-week course. There is no chance he makes it onto the active roster.
He’ll be good in the nfl coming from an American he played both football and rugby .
Not to play I imagine
It won't matter the refs will favor Kansas City again there won't be holding calls as well as face masking and P.I. in the next super bowl against the chiefs....
I don’t see it
These are the worst highlights 😂
Put the pads on then we’ll see
Marking perhaps, to go with Swift? OR, KC is about to invent a new style of Double-Tight End sh**. OR, a player who can shadow Patrick on Options UH OH!!!
We can expect to see this kind of play? Nothing special here and he needs to learn a lot about a totally different game IF he is going to be around for more than a season. Let's see how he handles people with far superior pace and skills.
He will have an affair with Taylor Swift. He looks like a super model compared to Kelci
DOG
these are terrible highlights chosen
No idea why he'd sign with a team of that pedigree. Surely its just PR?
Well for 1 even the pay of an NFL practice squad player is more than most Rugby contracts. A practice squad player is paid around $750,000 a year, more if they get called up to play in a game. Now the interesting thing with Zammit and the Chiefs, the Chiefs love trick plays that involve laterals which is something every rugby player is pretty accustomed to. Also with the new NFL kickoff rules I could see him being a good kickoff and punt returner.
@@jpjh8844 I thought he'd sign with a "mid" team like Christian Wade did. Are Bills "mid"?
Exactly. It's win win, because if it doesn't work out he can come right back to rugby @@jpjh8844
hi trade value now is going to soar. Spending time with the top team in the league, if h can prove himself there then every team would want him. Fantastic opportunity.
The Chiefs don't think so, clearly. Having said that, the IPP route allows any teams to take on an extra international player who may be able to make their 53-man squad, and even if he does not he can be added their allowed 16-player practice squad, and can be elevated to the active roster up to 3 times a year, so I think it's a no brainer.
First 2 mins a waste of time to show NFL fans. Very lazy effort.
NFL is nothing like professional elite rugby, the fact it takes 3 hours to play 60 minutes tells you everything you need to know. He’ll be a total flop in the NFL. They have so many rules and regulations and complicated set piece plays you have to have been playing it since you were a kid to succeed, terrible career move.
What a horrible, negative person you are. It's also amazing how you have a crystal ball and can predict the future. He's just signed for the Super Bowl champs after being scouted by multiple franchises. I think they know a bit more than you thanks...
NFL players are gifted /we will see
You do realise that many players who never played American Football before transferred from rugby to AF
There are nfl players that didn’t pick up football until they were 16. You need to have a certain processing speed but it is possible to pick it up late
How is it complicated 😂 I’m a football (soccer) and rugby fan but started watching nfl in 2010 it only took me 2 years to finally understand every rule and that was only by watching long highlights and plus he’ll be a full time player so plenty of time to learn I’d say it’ll take him about 3-4 months to fully understand
What can they expect? From a guy who’s going to be the closest thing to a diversity hire in the NFL?
Based on his combine stats (claims he’s run 4.2s 🤣🤣), they’re getting a P-squad cannon fodder guy who might make Special Teams in the 53 but ONLY BC the NFL is DESPERATE to hype him. Psyop.
There are literally hundreds of former D1 starter free agents bigger and faster than LRZ, with experience, but none are pretty boy Welsh rugby players. Don’t believe the hype.
