The ex-Welsh rugby player will travel to meet with these NFL teams.

The ex-rugby player Louis Rees-Zammit will travel for visits at the Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs in the upcoming days, the league shared today, after already meeting with the Browns and the Jets.

Louis shocked supporters at the beginning of the year when he revealed that he was leaving rugby to pursue a dream of playing in the National Football League. In the past week, the Welsh player posted a 4.43 in his 40-yard dash at the league’s International Player Pathway pro day.

This campaign marks the 1st time that each organization will have a 17th roster spot on the practice squad only for an international footballer. Franchises are allowed to elevate an international practice squad footballer to the active roster a maximum of 3 times throughout the campaign – a fantastic chance for international footballers to develop and get an opportunity to be on the field.
