What about Louis Rees-Zammit? If you are wondering how the Welsh arrow’s adaptation to American football is going for 5 tries during the last World Cup, know that this Wednesday gave us a first element of the answer.
Shock Revelation: Louis Rees-Zammit Abandons Rugby for an American Dream in the NFL
After 10 weeks of intensive preparation with the IPP Program, the 23-year-old athlete (1m91 and 96kg) passed the usual battery of tests in front of a jury which generally allows NFL franchises to make their choice from the field of athletes high level present.
3 franchises interested
And, bingo, RugbyPass understands that three NFL franchises would be determined to enlist him. In this case, offers of around $900,000 per year to enroll in the summer training camp of one of these three franchises would have been made to him in order to perfect his adaptation to American football.

But the potential is there! And LRZ could well benefit from the fact that for the first time in history, NFL franchises have the opportunity to welcome an additional player into their training camp for players from this specific program. By potentially playing the obvious position of running back, but also wide receiver, punt or kicker returner, RugbyPass advances.
TRANSFER. An Olympic champion to replace the Portuguese diamond Costa Storti in Béziers? However, Rees-Zammit’s performance was not that exceptional during his day of testing at the University of Florida. He was indeed far from the leading roles in relaxation exercises or long jumps with both feet.

On the other hand, his speed qualities really impressed and the young man with 14 tries with Wales clocked a time of 4.44 seconds on the legendary “40 yards”, a sprint of around 36.5 meters with standing start very important in the rating.
If he was not valedictorian there either, it seems that his canes and his skills with the ball in hand have finally convinced the most demanding recruiters in the country.
Along the same lines, it is said on the other side of the Atlantic that former Northampton center Harry Mallinder could also sign a contract in the NFL. In a completely different register from that of Rees-Zammit, of course.
