Louis Rees-Zammit is looking to transition from rugby to the NFL through the IPP programme - but how did the former Wales star do on his Pro Day with NFL scouts watching on?
Louis Rees-Zammit showed off his pace at the International Player Pathway Pro Day as he looks to break into the NFL.
Blessed with remarkable speed, Rees-Zammit developed into one of the most exciting wingers in the game, appearing for the British and Irish Lions on their tour of South Africa. Rees-Zammit scored five tries at the 2023 Rugby World Cup in France as The Dragons reached the quarter-finals.But the 23-year-old is eyeing a new challenge.
In the 40-yard dash, Rees-Zammit clocked times of 4.50 seconds and 4.44 seconds, which he later referred to as ‘disappointing’ after reportedly running in the 4.2s and 4.3s before the event. San Francisco 49ers duo Samuel and McCaffrey, who perform as dual-threats in both the passing and run games like Rees-Zammit is aiming to do, ran 4.48s at their combines.
In the broad jump, Rees-Zammit posted 9ft 7in but appeared frustrated with his performance which makes sense, as Henry - who weighed 18kg more than the Welshman - posted 10ft 10in. McCaffrey , Samuel and Hill all posted better scores than Rees-Zammit, too.
