At 23, Rees-Zammitt left Europe for America and the NFL in the United States to join the NFL’s International Player Pathway Program. This program is a gateway that can allow high-level athletes to join the biggest US football league. Louis Rees-Zammit takes advantage of the opportunity to show himself and arouse the desire of three NFL franchises who will fight to attract him.
A very interesting profile for American football
Present this Wednesday at the University of South Florida, Louis Rees-Zammit had the opportunity to show his physical abilities in front of 51 recruiters present as part of the “NFL’s International Player Pathway Program”.
