Rees-Zammit's vist 2 teams as his NFL journey heats up

Louis Rees-Zammit is taking another giant step towards a career in the NFL as he begins a series of team visits after dazzling on his appearance at the Pro Day earlier this week.

RugbyPass broke the news on Wednesday evening that the former Wales and Lions superstar had three contract offers on the table even before he stepped out in front of scouts from all 32 franchises.

Rees-Zammit was the star attraction at the University of South Florida and is spending 10 weeks training at IMG Academy in Bradenton under the NFL International Player Pathway programme.

He is trying out as a running back, wide receiver, or kick returner, clocked 4.43s in the 40-metre dash and is set to visit the Cleveland Browns and the New York Jets today.

The ex-Gloucester ace, who left Kingsholm earlier in the year to pursue his American dream, is pencilled in to visit more clubs over the weekend or early next week to discuss their plans for him.

“It’s not about the location or money. It’s about the plan for me. I want to be on a team that has a plan. I know, and they know that if we go through a good plan, that knows where I am going to go in the future,” Rees-Zammit told CNN before the Pro Day.
