Louis Rees-Zammit: What next for ex-Wales wing, one year after NFL move?

Rees-Zammit was known for his blistering speed and agility on the rugby field, coveted qualities in the NFL.

But the 23-year-old’s transition has not been without its challenges with Rees-Zammit already having played multiple positions, including running back and on special teams.

Schecter believes that wide receiver might be his best fit.

“Ultimately, it’s all about developing his football IQ,” Schecter explained.

“He needs to absorb as much knowledge as possible about the game. It’s been tough for him, but his athleticism is undeniable, and that will give him a solid foundation.”

With a new head coach on the way in Jacksonville, Rees-Zammit’s future in the NFL remains uncertain.

The Jaguars have not opted to sign Rees-Zammit to a reserve/future contract, which franchises can use to prevent players from negotiating deals with other teams.

As a result, the former Wales wing is able to strike a deal with any of the NFL’s 32 teams, but he could find himself back with Jacksonville in the future.

“Their season is over now and they don’t really start going back until end of March, early April,” said Schecter.

“Nobody’s really in the building right now but he’s doing everything he can to make sure that he either can re-sign with the Jags or find another team.”
