My goal is to report on news and interesting stories regarding the the team and players during season and also in the off season. Like and Subscribe for more!

This guy is a freaking monster and he’s fast as hell. I knew of him prior to him signing. This is awesome.
Do you know what position he will most likely play?
@@HB.productions.rb
@@HB.productions. tyreek hill position most likely
@@HB.productions.that's his field type position he wide player or a fast back. idk if he physical enough tbh he has the height and speed but taking the hits will be the teat . he young so can build up some more power still too
@@HB.productions.3rd and 1 position
After looking up his rugby highlights, this guy is a beast! Can't wait to see how he translates into the NFL.
Same here, just seen his highlights, he’s got wheels!, hopefully plenty house calls this season💯💯💯
Rees Lightning! ⚡️
I still need to see him play. Theres a big difference between the two sport considering how close they resemble. Anyone looks good in highlight reels. Just having a helmet on is a big adjustment for him. He will have to get used to the blindspots that he never experienced in rugby..
@@user-eb5uk3ye5n TOO True
It won't translate... his speed will, but he won't get open if you look at his highlights... everything is in open field with no one touching him... no wiggle , stop and go.. just straight line speed... every defense back will be like thank you... and if he plays running back linebacker will be like thanks unless he is in open field. just concentrate on the draft.
Welsh man here and new Kansas City Chiefs fan !!!!!!!!
Welcome to the kingdom brother
Honestly never watched nfl and from wales but might be a kanzas city chiefs fan too now😂
Welsh Chiefs fan here - excited about this! This is very different from any previous rugby players making the switch to NFL in that he was a legit star in World Rugby. Even Jordan Mailata was really only a youth Rugby player when he went into the NFL IPP. Rees-Zammit is (was) established as one of the best young players in the world. Hope he does well - at the very least, should be a good special teams prospect with possible return ability and legit tackling skills. If anyone can get the best out of him I’d trust Reid and Mahomes 🏴🏴🏴
Looks like he will be developed on the practice squad next year so I wouldn’t expect to see him at all until the 2025 season at the earliest. He wants to play RB or receiver and after watching his workouts he should give up on receiver right now he’s way to far behind on route running but running back could be a possibility.
Hell yeah
What about Jarryd Hayne? 😅
@@aarona222 that’s a fair point - I don’t know much about Hayne as he played Rugby League and Zammit is coming from Rugby Union. The bias Welshman in me would probably give the edge to Zammit as being a bigger name in that he has played more internationals already by a younger age. He’s also entering the NFL at a much younger age than Hayne so hopefully that gives him more time to learn the game and turn into a viable player who can make a 53 roster and stay there longer than Hayne managed. To be fair Hayne even making a roster was an incredible achievement.
@@cjboyer4355Idk, I still I hope they can put him on the team to play this yr & slowly add him 2 their game!!! I think he should actually learn in the tight end room, cause Travis would be a great leader & teacher & he'd be learning from the best tight end ever!!! And he'd learn how to run routes from Trav & how to get open!!! Andy Reid LOVES the tight end position!!! Ppl talk about how Pat wz & is training & obviously right now has bin w/ Pat in Texas, BUT it wz actually Travis who wz mentoring him his Rookie yr!!!! I guess if he's on the 'Special Teams' he can play!!! BUT I'd still LOVE for him to learn under Travis in the tight end room!!! Lol, obviously Andy Reid & their staff are going to know what's the best environment 4 him to continue to learn!!!
As a Welshman I am so excited! I've been following the chiefs since I was 18 and went to university with a guy from Texas, so I'm under no illusions that it's going to be incredibly hard to transition, but the idea that someone from my country is even on the practice squad for my team has made my week!
Louis is pronounced just like Lewis. Zammit like dammit. Over the moon for the Chiefs! Hope he makes the cut.
As a welsh rugby fan, you made the right choice
He’s going to kill it. Rees is so fast and powerful. Perfect team for his talent.
Not challenging you but can you expand on your thoughts on why this is a good signing on why you think he would be a good player? Other than being 6-3 ,210 and running a 4.4 40... is he a good tackler? Could a potentially switch to defense to be a linebacker if he can't bring any value on offense?
I don’t think he’s especially known as an exceptional tackler but you have to be at least a solid tackler to make to the international level in Rugby.
I wonder if picking up a defensive position like linebacker could be harder though?
Defensive schemes always seem less understandable to me at least and something that might be harder to crack having not played the game from a young age - maybe 🤷🏻♂️
I agree zammit is the going smash the nfl
As an England fan, he made the right choice to leave the WRU 😂
A note from Wales, you are very fortunate. This was the biggest shock in Sport over here, he is big, young and vey quick. Good luck LRZ.
I'm from New Zealand, rugby is in my blood. I started watching the NFL as a way to scratch a similar itch I get when rugby season isn't in full swing. Now you're telling me one of the upstart talents from that sphere of interest gets signed by my team in THIS sphere?
I am HYPED.
What?🫤
Woah-Rugby is no joke. They’re ALL running backs with no pads. Dang 🤯
The guys a beast.
Watch him be the first kid to walk through the physicality of Andy’s training camp. 😅
This could be a blessing in disguise for the Chiefs.
⚡️REES LIGHTNING ⚡️
Krystal Anderson, a Kansas City Chiefs cheerleader, passed away while giving birth. I am asking that we keep Krystal's family in our prayers. I also apologized for posting this sensitive information in the comment section but I believe that being a Chiefs fan means being a family and losing one family member is a lot.
Thank you and god bless you all.
RIP 🕊🕊🕊🕊and condolences to her family and 🙏 for her baby 🤱 from CHIEFS KINGDOM 👑 😢😢😢
RIP❤🙏
I just recently saw this news 😔
@@hbtCHIEFS sad...I hope chiefs kingdom does something for her family and newborn
Just like we've done in the past, the Chiefs find talent in other sports and turn them into great football players. The stuff he does is perfect for Andy Reid's trick play book
Woah now slow your roll... "Great football player". He's not played down yet
That's more a remark directed at the other players the Chiefs have brought in over the years, all the way back to HOF kicker Jan Stenrud. The Chiefs were one of the first teams to sign talent from Black colleges and look at international players. The team has a tradition of success when it comes to signing unconventional talent.
Shrewd move from Reid, with the new kick off rules, zammit will have lots of space and that boy can put on the burners.
He’s gonna bring a lot of fans
Having this guy is gonna be SUPER interesting. Can’t wait to see it!
As a Rugby and NFL fan. Thank God KC did that. I was hoping they will. Watch that boy beat people on the screen. Punt return look out. Rees is an unbelievable talent and Welsh Rugby superstar. Give him time to learn the playbook. I couldn’t believe when he left rugby. He’s a talent once again Veach you’re a legend. You won’t regret it. Oh and Ask Rees to show the D how to use the rugby tackle technique.
If they give him the coaching he's an absolute sponsors dream. he's known as "Rees-lightening." He's pure quicksilver. Loves your sport. Has pure electric pace. Great hands. Be prepared to be amazed. I'm aware it's difficult to enter this realm this way. He's already battle hardened, pressure equipped and has Rizz. I guarantee he'll succeed.
It’s very intriguing signing! I can’t wait to see what he can do. Let’s go chief’s ❤
Good on him for following his dreams in the NFL, let it be known to those who don't know him, he is the type of person who will achieve every single one of those dreams and clearly why he signed with the Chiefs. LRZ (for his age) is one of the most gifted athletes in the world today, and importantly he has the metal attitude for it too. He is not the finished product, but if he stuck with rugby in 3-4 years he would highly likely be one of the best players EVER. This guy will make headlines.
KC now has 4 kickers on their roster.
Imagine if he scores the winning TD in the three-peat.
🙄 Bruh the Ravens claiming the AFC title.New Era begins
@@DavidSmith-vg2bn WAT? 😂
cheifs r done...bareley won last year...King Henry run ya over
Yeah. So said the Bills. So said the Bengals. Take a number and have a seat.
🙄
I watched how they prepared. He is talented and also hardworking player. This is what makes Chiefs so interesting and entertaining to watch. They find some real talents and convert them into big stars. I can't wait to watch him on the field.
DUDE I WAS LITERALLY TYPING KICK RETURNER AS YOU SAID IT. ITS SO EFFIN SMART!!
I know right! I saw that he was going to meet with the Broncos next and the Chiefs were like, oh hell nahhh! LoL, I hope he is a beast!
Tyreek Hill was scoring TD’s at RB/WR/Returner his first few seasons. I kinda see KC developing him that same way. Love to see Mahomes train w him soon too!!
Let's go Brett veach 🤣🤣🤣💛❤️🏈🔥
Can’t wait to see how he dose in NFL , he gotta be tough as nails, KC doing everything they can to get the 3peat and I’m loving it
Rees Lightning! ⚡️
Dammit it's Zammit ⚡ 😂😂
Know him from rugby and now I'm really happy he ended up with the Chiefs... Him and Kelce could be making some truly unbelievable after the catch lateral plays!
this is crazy 🔥
6’-3” 209 and 4.4 speed. Sounds intriguing
I mean, he hits people hard without pads. He may be bowling people over as a running back lol😂
The Chiefs are going to have to be my team now 😂👍
His rugby film shows me he translates as a RB! In rugby he is use to running full speed down hill making slight cuts to avoid defenders. Not to mention stiff arm and trucking. A RB who can take jet sweeps!
Veach making moves! Trust
"trust" when he gives up the best CB for a 3rd and change. LOL!
I was thinking about the lateral and Kelce! 😂 What the heck, let's do it! He's known as a star in his sport. It's a different game and some don't transition to American football well, but a star of that sport is worth a try!
SO TRUE!! Gonna be sick !
He is definitely going to be the "corn dog" "Tom and Jerry" "Wyle E Coyote" Andy Ried Saturday cartoon play calls.
Over under on Kelce taking a swing at this guy and he swings back at camp? 😂😂
You also get the interest of the country Wales for the NFL and Kansas City. Rugby is a huge national sport in Wales that generates huge pride and interest so there is lots of interest from Wales on this. Ok, where do I get my shirt!!!!!!
Links to How Bout Those Chiefs merch (shirts, etc.) in the Description under "more". NFL jerseys are available through NFL Shop. It's too soon for a LRZ KC jersey right now.
He's a quality operator very skillful strong and fast with good hands he will shine in Kansas.
I hope he plays just as well in Missouri also 😊
@@Zombie_Chiefs_Fancrafty 😂😂😂
Yeah most people don't realize that there are 3 Kansas cities.😊😊😊
@@Charles-3900 it's all in good fun, I mean no harm 🤣
@@Zombie_Chiefs_Fan I know it was Still funny 🤣🤣🤣
The guy is Marshawn Lynch at receiver. He BREAKS SO MANY TACKLES. Also he jukes like Barry Sanders. Runs like Tyreek Hill. His routes are Wes Welkerish.
Pro comp Wes Welker
❤Go-Chiefs🎉
As a rugby fan in NZ, we should have all known - Wales coached by Warren Gatland, who played rugby for Waikato in NZ, whose Super Rugby franchise is the Chiefs... the signs were all there!!!
Is he gonna be better than MVS and Kadarius Toney? He has pace and is very good under the high ball having seen him play for Wales and the British & Irish Lions rugby teams. Only time will tell.
Good resume
Matt Araiza and now this guy. How do the chiefs under the radar keep picking up these beasts
Because the Chiefs are just The Team™.
There’s a great chance that this guy comes in and takes over the “qb sneak” or even could see kc implement the tush push with him as it is a rugby style play. Worth a thought
LRZ was a winger in rugby, nearer to wide receiver. He's a fast runner, used to dodging and avoiding tackles for 80 minutes, not the bulk for tush push.
@@chiefwiggum4114 noted, I had no idea. Even cooler that he has speed can’t wait to watch
I called this on your comments a few days ago. Rees-zammit is a gun.
Pronounced Reece. The Welsh language is hilarious, this boys talent is NFL level. Kicker returner is a great shout.
bendigedig 🏴👍😄
The league added a 17th practice squad spot for the IPP players and they can be moved up as many as 3 times. So I doubt we see him early in the season, maybe a game or two to see how he does. But once he gets accustomed to pads and has some games under him, I bet we see him a ton late season and in the playoffs. He will be huge in the new way kick offs are done, as it is pretty much like a rugby scrim. Chiefs always ahead of the game in stuff like this. 3 peat incoming.
After watching his highlights I fully understand this signing he has tremendous amount of potential I mean he is extremely fast powerful enough to run through tackles can also catch from what I saw and a bonus for special teams due to his rugby experience he is a sure tackler I like this signing and I hope he takes the opportunity and shines
Love your updates! Thanks for the joy that you bring to every single video that you put out.
This makes sense for kickoffs totally. The new kick off lining up along a line is basically the same as rugby. In rugby, you defend in a line (with wingers back to field kicks).
I think this is awesome. I can't wait to see what he can do. Those rugby guys look tough
Yea cos they don't play with crash helmets and body armour .
One of the truly great spectacles in sports is the singing of the Welsh National anthem at the big rugby games that Louis played in
Just look up ‘Land of my Fathers 2013’ for a rendition like no other . Im not welsh but you just got to appreciate how spectacular this is
Watch his highlights, Louis Rees-Zammit has skillz...
I cannot say enough just how quick he is. His burst speed is amazing 24mph , he grew up watching nfl and his dad played for one of the only American football teams in Wales . He is also a real superstar in rugby. He was so disappointed by his 40 hard dash 4.43 was slow for him . Not only did he play for his country he also played for the lions (pro bowl type team) and has been player of the tournament (MVP)
Welsh rugby fan who also supports the chiefs! He is quick, very very quick. Don’t know if he will make more than the practise squad but very exciting
New guy + Pat= Hurricane! New, with extra tricks. Bad and bold!
I’m going out on a limb but I think he will make the team. When a guy is that talented and also driven, it’s a beautiful combination. Happy for him!!
WELL DAMMIT ITS ZAMMIT ⚡ 😂😂😂
Happy Easter Cole! Many blessings to you and the family!
As a proud Welshman, and a chiefs fan, I could not be happier. I think you are going to be pleased with him. His rugby record is quite outstanding. A full Welsh international at just 19, and a shoe-in for the team ever since, making over 30 appearances. Selected for the British Lions tour of South Africa at the age of just 20! To put that into perspective this is the youngest player for well over 50 years. (For non rugby folk, the British Lions are a select team chosen from all of the UK and Ireland, I.E. England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland, who tour once every four years) It's a huge loss to Wales, and rugby in general, but give him a little time, and he will be a fine player. P.S. He can actually catch the ball, something all Chiefs fans will no doubt be happy about, and I think Travis Kelce will appreciate a player who understands about lateraling the ball!
I am Welsh and I have a Welsh Corgi....let's GO!
Corgi is Welsh for Small Dog 😂🐕
6'3 RB nice!
Look at what happened with the eagles when they signed a rugby player. Y'all know who I'm talking about. Turned out to be a BEAST. Hopefully we build his potential!
not a specialist position
@@georgerichter3930 I Guess we'll have to wait and see! 🤞🏻 Cheers!
@@drsavage3262 perhaps in a few years. Unless there are crazy injuries
6’3 about 200lbs, runs a 4.43 40, and top speed on the rugby field was 24.2 mph (obviously that’s gonna be a little different when he’s got pads on) but dude is gonna be a DOG!
Probably faster in an actual game
This guy is Rees Lightening, a star !
I imagine him being signed might have something to do with the new kickoff rules. At least now Kelce has someone reliable to do those pitch off’s that he likes to do lol.
😂😂😂
I was thinking the same. Both for kickoffs & returns.
This instantly brings Christian Okoye to mind! He was lots of fun, until he injured his neck. The "Nigerian Nightmare"!😉
Iykyk 😂😂
yea, also brings christian wade to mind as well
I am really excited for this, excited for this season!!! let's go chiefs 🤞🤞🤞
The new kickoff rule adjusts perfectly for this kind of player. I was thinking about why rugby players are not now being hired, given the new rule. Very intriguing
Wow! This dude is a beast!!!
It gets everyone talking about them Chiefs! ❤ love this
Not a Chiefs fan but this is very interesting. It's going to be fun to follow his season.
😏😏😏
Rees Lightning!!! 😎
Very interesting, I've seen him live - he is very athletic and elusive and can also bounce off a hit !
Travis Kelce and Zammit with the laterals are going to give me a heart attack
Pob lwc draig Cymraeg 🏴 - excited to follow LRZ’s progress with The Chiefs 🇺🇸
I love this signing
Thanks Cole. Good info!! Love the idea!! Rugby players are tough!!! Let’s Go Chiefs!!!!!
Love the idea! I think he will be cool to watch and follow him. 🎉
Watched the IPP series. It seems like the training is pretty thorough. And they are definitely motivated, I'm excited to see how this signing plays out.
I lived in the U.K. and watched a lot of rugby. I think it's great because they go beast mode.
This is mind blowing
What up Cole...I'm excited 🎉 this is different
LETS HOPE HE MAKES THE TEAM
My man you're very dedicated to your Chiefs' reporting 😅 I wish I was this dedicated to my podcast 😂 How 'Bout Those Chiefs!!!
Woah! His progress will be cool to watchA
I love Football, love Rugby. I am thrilled to see what he’ll do for the Kingdom!
Human bulldozer + Andy Reid’s creativity = let’s freakin gooooo!!
This is so awesome!!
Let's goo good pickup 🔴🚨🔥
Appreciate the update. I will say, the whole narrative of rugby being “tougher” than American football is silly. Yes, they don’t play with pads, but in actuality, pads make American football way more dangerous because you can collide at top speed which very rarely happens in rugby.
Creative, they are!
Love the idea of this signing
Well, chiefs fans, let me assure you if KC was gonna sign a rugby player, let’s just you can’t go far wrong with this guy. He’s pretty much near the top of the pile in the rugby world.
Hope he transitions successfully coz he’s got the ability to light it up.
If he does well, how long before he gets some game time, cause I’m looking forward to his debut.
Humm very interesting. Hey we did pick up George the water polo Greek freak and we saw how that turned out! This might be a very good move.
Wow 😂I saw that awesome ❤💛
A he’s going to bring in a lot of fans in and you know it’s going to be fun for I’m glad that he’s a chiefs now I be rooting for but all he got to do is think red and think big HBTC ❤💛❤️💛
St. Louis Lee’s Summit is going to be a great football player in the state of Missouri!
He is also got kicking experience as a former rugby player myself the drop kick and place kick all rugby players have to have
I gotta' say, after seeing this signing and somewhat studying the new kick-off rules, this signing makes perfect sense. The way the rules line up, a fast rugby skilled person would be just the thing. If both sides are lined up as close as what I think they'll be, and not able to get a running head start, a rugby style runner/returner is just the thing. Thoughts?
I agree Cole, this is a fun signing. My first thought is no way he's making the 53. This year will be practice squad and to learn what the NFL is about. Give him to Toub, and let him figure out what the kid can do. Can't wait to see him in preseason.
I lovet it. Another guy to root for
