“Kansas City Chiefs sign new player Louis Rees-Zammit, who dreams of Super Bowl glory after sealing a £700,000 move to play alongside Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce.”
Louis Rees-Zammit will prove his doubters wrong on Friday by signing an NFL training contract which he hopes will see him help the Kansas City Chiefs to yet another Super Bowl.
After dramatically quitting rugby – the sport he grew up playing – to try and crack America, the former Wales wing’s next step will seal him seal a stunning move to the Chiefs and play alongside the likes of Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce. Rees-Zammit’s rise in the USA has been remarkable.
By his own admission, he hadn’t played American Football properly before earning a place on the NFL’s International Player Pathway (IPP) earlier this yearBut after impressing the sport’s scouts on the IPP programme, Rees-Zammit received interest from more than 12 professional NFL teams including the New York Jets, Cleveland Browns and Denver Broncos.
Rees-Zammit’s final decision to opt for the Chiefs is unsurprising given the team coached by Andy Reid has won three of the last five Super Bowl titles.Rees-Zammit’s dream is to help them retain their crown in 2025. Kimberly Miale is an NFL agent from Roc Nation Sports who has brokered the former Wales wing’s Chiefs move. Roc Nation Sports is an agency founded by American rapper Jay-Z.
‘Louis has impressed the dozens of coaches and scouts who have met with him over the past few weeks. His athleticism and versatility make him a standout in the IPP programme,’ Miale told Mail Sport. ‘Louis has such an exciting trajectory right now. He’s an amazing athlete and great person. I can’t wait to watch him develop and excel over the upcoming NFL season.
The goal is to play on an NFL team and help to win a Super Bowl. Over a dozen teams had shown interest.’On Thursday, bookmakers priced Rees-Zammit winning next season’s Super Bowl as a 25/1 shot. His training contract with the Chiefs is understood to be worth in the region of £700,000.,Everyone’s goal is obviously to win a Super Bowl,’ Rees-Zammit told Mail Sport earlier this month. ‘But I need to find a team that’s right for myself and for the franchise. As long as the team has a good plan and we’re on the same page, that’s all that matters.’
He added: ‘I need an opportunity to show what I can do. I feel ready to be honest with you. I know what I’ve got to focus on and that’s training hard and learning everything I can in the classroom.’Rees-Zammit’s aim while working alongside the likes of superstars Mahomes and Kelce will be to make head coach Reid’s final 53-man roster for the new season.
That is far from guaranteed and he will effectively be on trial in Kansas City.But while Rees-Zammit, still just 23, has work to do, new NFL rules make it easier for foreign players to forge a career in American football.This season, for the first time, all 32 teams will have an additional place on their practice squads for an international player.
NFL teams can carry 90 players during the offseason before finalising their 53-man roster. Rees-Zammit is looking to make the NFL grade as a running back, wide receiver and on special teams, where he could be used as a kick returner.When he left rugby behind in January and on the eve of the Six Nations, his decision was criticised in many quarters. The consensus was that Rees-Zammit would soon return to his boyhood sport.
But the man who was the youngest player on the British & Irish Lions tour to South Africa in 2021 and scored 14 tries in 42 Tests for Wales as well as playing for Gloucester, has adapted quickly. Rees-Zammit’s remarkable pace is his outstanding attribute. But his power and running lines are also understood to have impressed the Chiefs and other NFL scouts.There can be no doubt his signing with the Chiefs – who were catapulted to another level in terms of commercial appeal due to Kelce’s relationship with American pop superstar Taylor Swift – is a dream move. It’s the next stage on an astonishing US journey which looks like it still has plenty left to run.

Olympic Integrity in Question: Simone Biles’ Honors Under Fire Amid Age Fraud Allegations
In a shocking turn of events, the Olympic community is reeling as allegations of age fraud surface against American gymnast Simone Biles. The 25-year-old gymnastics superstar, widely regarded as one of the greatest of all time, is facing mounting pressure as many call for her honors to be stripped.
According to sources, an investigation has been launched into Biles’ age, with some claiming she may have falsified her birth certificate to compete in younger age groups earlier in her career. If true, this would be a violation of Olympic rules and could result in Biles being stripped of her medals and titles.
Biles has yet to comment on the allegations, but her team has released a statement denying any wrongdoing. “Simone has always been transparent about her age and has never attempted to deceive anyone,” the statement read.
As the investigation continues, the Olympic community is holding its breath. If Biles is found guilty, it would be a devastating blow to the sport and could have far-reaching consequences.
Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story.

Breaking News: Carmelo Anthony Blasts Adam Silver’s NBA for Ignoring Charles Barkley and TNT Crew in $76 Billion Deal Decision…See more
“I would be upset too if I was Charles Barkley.” Carmelo Anthony is now a part of the ownership group at Unrivaled, so his criticism is from that point of view. The deal with TNT to continue the rights took a long time, and in the meantime, every employee of the network was not happy. One of which was arguably the face of the show and the face of the network, Charles Barkley.
Melo even questioned WBD executives for not addressing the talents, “But I blame I honestly blame the higher-ups for that man, the execs and all of that. We can’t be here with you all of this time, creating this and building this property, and then we ain’t being told what’s actually happening here. And like, we don’t have a shot, like we don’t have a shot to keep this going after umpteen years.”
Charles Barkley, Shaquille O’Neal, Kenny Smith, and Ernie Johnson have been entertaining fans with the Inside show for years now. The Emmy-winning show is a testament to how different it is than its current competitors. Even Barkley had commented on the failure of Adam Silver
“Clearly the NBA has wanted to break up with us from the beginning,” Charles Barkley said in the statement. He continued that he wasn’t sure if TNT ever had a fair chance because even if they matched the money, the league would prefer their latest partners in order to secure their future. What Barkley meant by it was that when the next deal came around, they would be in a better position to negotiate. Currently, WBD has a debt of $40 billion.
He even criticized Adam Silver for disrespecting fans. “It’s a sad day when owners and commissioners choose money over the fans. It just sucks.” Charles Barkley lastly thanked his Turner family for the last 24 years and promised fans that in the last season of NBA on TNT, the crew would give it all.
