He got a 4.43 official 40 time at 6'3 210 but appearantly he had low 4.3s and high 4.2s in practice. Also he is signed as a WR/RB
The lad's got legit speed... A loss for top flight Rugby, but hopefully makes an impact in the NFL!!
Clocked on the field at 24.2 mph….tyreek hill record is 23.2 mph
@@petemills5704Tyreek had pads in though so not completely like for like.
Ran 10.4 100 metres from a standing start..
First jersey of the 2024 season I will be purchasing, I’m from the UK so seen his whole career. His dad used to play euro football so it’s in the kids blood. Looking for the Kelce lateral too Zammit for the TD
He also clocked a running speed of 24 mph in a rugby match , and 100m in 10.4 seconds
The important thing to remember is that as a back he needs to be able to run with the ball, pass it, recieve it, tackle and wrestle for the ball. The big difference between the sports, in addtion to how to run, how to tackle, how to be tackled and how to pass is that In rugby every player needs a much wider set of skills. LRZ regularly performed the tasks of linebackers, safties, wide reciever, running back and quarterback along with the occasional interlude as defensive or offensive tackle.
Not to forget a punter
@@thomasbrown3281 That too, yes. Anyways my main point is that American Football is highly specialized in skills while Rugby is very diversified. This make code switching more difficult.
also no blockers in rugby so you have to legit beat a man
@@garethvalleyg blocker is very easy...the most importance to side step while running and catch the ball
Great comment!
what a player. we’ll miss him here in Wales. I hope he does well. I can’t believe that compilation didn’t show his best ever try though imo. his try for Wales against fiji when he kicked it from his own half and managed to get past everyone to score the try just before it went out.
ye those were all early highlights nothing recent
Kicked off his left too as a right footed kicker! Elite skill
To all KC fans, enjoy having our Wonder Boy from Wales. I hope he shows what magic he has... he's a Beast & only getting better !!! Much luv from Wales. "Cymru & LRZ Am Byth 🏴💚"
thank u!
As a Welsh man, I'm sad to see him go. He's rapid fast and had a massive future. But wish him all the best.
Good luck Louis from your home country Wales. 🏴
He's gonna be a star over there mate. He has everything. Pace ,power, handling, kicking how elusive he is he has a good chance to do well
im excited!
@@Bklynreau hope he does well for u guys mate. And he's still only 23 years old.... How much was the fee to sign him?
@@BklynreauThese people are getting ahead of themselves Christian Wade had great pace and so did Valentine Holmes and to a lesser extent Jarryd Hayne. They all think Lewis is in the team but he needs to make the 53 or special teams. He has zero experience and where players have not done well is with learning the playbook and understanding defensive lines. We will see but my feelings are there are guys who've spent their whole life playing American Football and I don't see how he reaches their understanding in training days and nit even a game yet. People need to calm down a bit
@@hellovaniteI don’t think this season but maybe next season. He has a minimum of three seasons to learn so why not I guess. Should be enough time to maximise his athleticism and learn the playbook. He’s only 23 so he’s much younger than the most of the rugby converts who were in there late 30s when they tried.
@@Teesroad Really he's contracted for three seasons without having to make the team?? that's unheard of, are you sure?
Chiefs have signed an absolute monster ,he will be a star.
He really is a gem. Not just speed but technical ability, very good player
With the new kick off rule, he could be an awesome kick return
fr!
Being an exceptional Rugby player doesn`t guarantee success in the NFL, but I wish this young man well & hope he can excite the KC fans.
Wise bet the Chiefs will a some point give him game time. 😊
Rees Lightning! Let’s go!!!
There is talks about him playing kick receiver in the new kick off rule, or running back or wide receiver
Our loss is your gain. Enjoy the formally most exciting player in Welsh rugby. Cracking player, cracking athlete!
Love the positivity! Go chiefs kingdom 👑!
A generational talent. Has it all. Speed, power, agility, hunger, determination and he’s a very proud Welshman. Good luck boyo. 🏴
At 7:16 with the kick by him. It was a fifty twenty two from were you kick from your own half and it lands in the opposition 22 (in NFL terms, over the gain line) after that. They team who got it regain the ball from where it went out from.
He's young, proven performance under massive pressure, has the skillset and grew up watching nfl. It was an easy option for Reid, 3 years signing him at practice squad rates. I can't see any downside for the cheifs even just on the practice squad he has the experience of playing both sides of the ball and will be worth it for that ability to pivot alone
yo my man,.hope your good, as the man is formally known in his home country CYMRU/WALES, as LRZ, i personally believe that he is gonna light it up. and the attitude towards physical attributes is a superb base to start with. it tends to be the basis of most sports in this present time; especially those that are of a physical, gladiatorial battle. however those who possess those physical attributes, whether naturally of jabbing as we say in wales, only gets you there, its having the mental edge that makes you great. this young boyo (BTW im a taffy born and bred) has done the business in front of 80,000 (carl froch haha). i think you are going and the rest of the american nfl fans to have an good exposure and eye opener to rugby. everyone in WALES supports kansas chiefs now haha. safe p.s good luck bruv/butt
Thank you brother we need alll the chiefs fans we can get
Yooo the world is mad man, I recently started looking at football, I'd watched some reaction vids to rugby (my favourite sport) by nfl guys like you, then suddenly rees zammit gets signed and now I see you talking about him in the nfl, mad man I feel like I'm destined to be a chiefs fan now lol
I've never once in my life run so fast that when I hit the ground I slid like 8 feet. Must be fun.
Be patient with him. Let him adapt. Get behind him and he will do good. And be loyal
The games when he's in red he's representing wales in international matches so he's playing the best of the best and still makes it look easy at times
As others said, between 4.2 and 4.43 during the IPP camp. He has an unofficial 10.4 on his very first 100m dash (Indoors, no cleats, stopwatch timing, no blocks). Clocked at around 26mph during a game. Freak of an athlete to play 80 minutes
He's an exciting talent no doubt, i will miss him in Rugby but wish him all the best in his chosen sport 💪👍
Can catch a high ball, acceleration, hits stride after a step or two, has played in massive stadiums. Chiefs could have a legit kick returner. Also, Mahomes love a trick play so maybe somewhere on ST utilising his lateral passing, for example. Dude can throw a ball 30m laterally without turning onto dominant side
Fairly sure he got signed as a kick returner in order to exploit the new kick off rule change in the NFL. It plays out exactly like rugby which are his strengths. Once you get past the "wall" it's open ground to a TD. As you can see in the footage, he doesn't have many issues with that. Not sure how the NFL equipment will hinder him though. Wearing all that extra gear might slow him down.
I'm Irish and a massive rugby fan, but I also love NFL and I've been a huge Chiefs fan since the days of Christian Okoya. I'm very interested to see how LRZ manages the transformation from Rugby to NFL. He has all the skills the power and the speed. I know he's down as a RB or WR but would have loved to also see him as a kick receiver as he's deadly in open field. But I understand you cant be everything lol.
Pumas and Chief fan here. LRZ can do the job, rugby is more complete sport than the NFL
Can’t wait to see how it’s going to turn out! Chiefs allday let’s get this 3peat
@@Bklynreau Hi Mate. We didn't have the best regular season last year but managed to just keep winning once we got to the play-offs. One unbelievable performance after another, and it was awesome how they turned it round in the final. Kelce and Mahomes just refused to loose.
Glad to hear you talking about KO returns, I think he'd excel at that from what I've seen of football, cus in rugby you have to catch high kicks a lot and you're used to everyone trying to smash you as you run it back....could be sensational, no?
Rees Lightning!!!
enjoyed that video buddy nice seeing an American watching rugby not asking or saying dumb things lol, respect to you, i hope he does what luka doncic coming from Spain to NBA and lighting league up regardless of the doubters , say this alot europeans play think different , its a lot brawn vs brains in the way europe and america play sports
LRZ would make a good kick receiver. You don't see it in the highlights, but in rugby, there's a lot of annoying ball tennis where one team will kick the ball away in the hope that the opposition will drop the ball and lead to a scrum. If LRZ was bad under a high ball, he wouldn't have made the grade. Hope LRZ can find a role with the chiefs and show off his skills.
He does play for wales international rugby team
As a wales and nfl fan - I’m excited to see how Zammit does. Once he learns the gaps, his talent and speed could cause some problems
He's the fastest thing on legs in the U.S at the moment, he's a power house, no helmets needed. Enjoy him wile you can, he's the real deal all the best from Wales
Going to be interesting to watch. Reid will find a way to make it work.
Sooooo your favorite two Welshmen are now REN and LRZ good times..........
true!!
Many many years ago South Africa's best goal kicker (Naas Botha) went over to become a kicker in the NFL, didn't really work out AFAIK.
First jersey of the 2024 season I will be purchasing, I’m from the UK so seen his whole career. His dad used to play euro football so it’s in the kids blood. Looking for the Kelce lateral too Zammit for the TD
I excited to see how they use them can’t wait!
He'll be pulling all the Kansas City birds.
There are some AFL players that would fit right into an NFL roster. Byron Pickett would have been a crazy RB
They got him down as RB on the insta post
All the Aussie punters in the NFL are ex AFL/Aussie rule's players not Rugby players. Eagles Jordan Mailata is a ex Australian rugby league player, Valentin Holmes now back playing Australian NRL played at RB for the Jet's, Jarrod Hayne former Australian NRL rugby league player played RB & both end's special teams for the 49ers. Albeit these are Australian rugby league not rugby union player's. Two different sporting code's but similar.
Ya Chiefs have a real speedster!!!
Commited strong and focused
3 peat it will be wild if he makes Superbowl in first season
Our loss your gain
They are moving him to special teams...kicker, gunner, kick punt returns, punter. Signed for RB though...
I hope he makes it. But to my mates from across the pond he's going against people that have played their whole lives at the highest level. But with his speed if anyone can make it work it's the Chiefs. As for rugby players versus NFL players being athletic it's just a different sport people. Rugby's about stamina NFL is about short bursts of speed or if your a lineman basically you're a sumo wrestler
I think with his pace toughness and being so elusive he has a good chance of doing well. Time will tell..
Yeah, they've been suffused in football their whole lives, but LRZ has been a professional athlete just as long as, if not longer than, college athletes. He has the big game spirit, he has the ability to keep a play going, and by God does he have the speed! Am I gassing him up? Yeah, but the longer he's in the NFL, the less time he's making the England defenders look like chumps lol =]
@@leaguesmanoframsgate prick ...lol you had to rub it in didn't u 🤣🤣
His pace is average in American football terms
A year at punt return gives him time to train as a specialist. His entire rugby career he has had to train all round skill set. So agree that it will be tough, but he is young enough and comes from a football family so not so new to the sport as you would imagine.
With the new kick return rules, we are going to watch him juke around defenders 🎉
He's fast. He's smart. He's got good hands and absolutely understands big game pressure. If he's given the coaching he deserves he will be capable. We get that it's a different sport but his fundamentals are there. Pure pace. Used to contact. Used to attacking open field space. He'll add value to their brand.
That's my team - Gloucester! The cherry and whites! We are the boys from Gloucester this is true!
I’m hearing he’s likely to be available to play either RB or WR. Possibly alternating.
Remember the Kap was with the Niners and they signed Jarrod Hayne? I was so hyped but Harbaugh didn't have enough time to develop him. He did play a little, but honestly I don't think he was ready for the physicality.
WR, and the new rules say no safe kicks - he will be the one to return the kick off
You can see since being in America zammit has put on a few pounds on and is not as fast or nimble...cant wait to see him tear it up tho 🤟
RB/WR but could be used as kick or punt return.
he is fast as hell and can catch a ball from behind, catching a ball going forward is easy for him, he won't need padding he is a MAN
Zammit's dad played NFL in the UK so he has a bit of background. He's grade A* on a rugby pitch.
I wonder about his position. WR is a highly technical position, and you're having to catch a ball with your back turned, with a helmet limiting vision. RB? Definitely a returner.
he's fast, but not the best in his position at elite levels of rugby. Wish him all the best for the NFL. Enjoy the huge wealth.
Yeah he runs 4.24 brah 😱😳😲😍💛❤️yeah that crazy brah kc signed him just case we can't get WR brah in draft KC is smart brah
yea thats crazy!
Known to us LRZ
Hope for the best for him but he's never been hit like they hit in the NFL. He's a long shot no doubt.
Rees Lightning!
Can he lateral to one of his blockers? That might be fun to see!
He is playing half back with option to be a wr
Winger in Rugby so kinda like a WR
Chiefs Kingdom am Byth hogia!
I hope ress lightning does well
If you convert the numbers. His top speed so far of 24.2 mph is equivalent to a 3.38 40yd dash. Just a bad day at the office on pro-day.
That's completely disregarding the acceleration time it takes from a standing start
My biggest concern is will he learn how to read defense and most importantly block! Rugby don’t block players coming at you full speed at different sizes. If not he’ll be a back up for a long time.
ceiling of Debo.
I've been low on him but hope he proves me wrong.
how on earth is he going to suppress the urge to lateral every time he is tackled? No matter how they coach him I bet he does it at some point in a game. Instinct :)
On the IPP they were pushing him as WR, but I could not understand, why he could not be WR/RB/FB/KR/PR because he has played wing and full back in rugby to the highest level and full back in rugby is a tough position
that would make sense!
Presumably even the Chiefs couldn’t get away with putting “Position: Yes” on the official paperwork…
It's funny you're trying to find a nickname for him when he has one already. IT'S REES LIGHTNING
All rugby back three player can catch the ball. If they fumble once they will lose huge territory. They have to be able to catch. WR punt return. I reckon.
Not a chance he doesn’t suit up for games😊
his only chance is having a knack for returning punts (maybe kickoffs now with the new rule???)
He has signed as a RB and WR
You could use him as a substitute punter too... 😂
He got a 4.5 in the 40 yard dash I mean it's average but when he was practising he got like 4.4 4.3 something like that
I heard he was 4.43 on Forty.
...and 4.2 in training. There's a reason why they call him "Rees Lightning".
LRS is a useful player. But I can think of several dozen others who would offer far greater potential. If you include Rugby League (a similar but separate sport fielding thirteen players instead of fifteen which is where Jordan Mailata came from) then you could double that figure. I mean, a guy like Eben Etzebeth would be an elite player in just about every collision sport. But he's too old to be switching sports now.
I think your coach is thinking outside the box. American football can steal a bit of handling of the ball from rugby. You get so used to playing the game in one way that you think that's the only way it can be done.
Also I know he ain't a big lad, but this kid can tackle if something goes wrong he can wrap someone's legs up
He's big enough: just over 6' 3" tall and 194 lb, and has been clocked running 100m in 10.4 seconds from a crouching start, not from the starting blocks.
In rugby he's also used to being tackled multiple times in a match by players up to about 6' 7" and 300+ lb - and that's without all the padding and helmets that the pampered and protected NFL players wear.
Where you from tho?... We got a lil BK out this way for you... Find Brooklyn Republic.
Hes welsh he will definitely snap a tendan. Its a thing.
Also one more thing... The NFL is a different beast! There are some really, let's just call them, not so intelligent players that don't protect their heads. In rugby there's no helmets, in the NFL these players use their heads as a weapon. So can he take a full hit in the NFL, because in rugby, there's nothing protecting their heads, so they protect themselves.
Many Rugby forwards do wear a protective Scrum Cap!!
He'll be playing running back
Official 40 is 4.43 unofficial is a mid 4.2
LRZ is much easier. GOOD LUCK KID
I'll give you a BIG CLUE STOP CUSSING!!BAD EXAMPLE, KIDS ARE WATCHING.
Louie Lightning...
dude u gotta change your intro lol
😂😂 cant its toooo funny
@@Bklynreau hahahah ok ok
Its all about the money but will he be bored? Its not exactly the most exciting sport in the world! Imagine if they just use him as a kicker! Whata waste that would be.
You're top I'm america not the world, the world doesn't watch nfl or play it.
oh European American football leagues are definitely real. louis' dad played for one of them! plus nfl plays a London game, and Germany game, both sold out crowds.
London Monarchs and Scottish Claymores still have fans despite neither team having existed for literal decades
@@Chiefs15879 to be fair the leagues are still amateur and I'd say around 97% of people in the UK don't know there even is an american football league here
@@striderwhiston9897 even if we could get an nfl fan base in the uk I doubt people would want to pay extreme prices or stay up late to watch matches
@@striderwhiston9897 eh and now flag football is an Olympic sport…. I think you are underselling American football, if not in the UK then the world.
I see a lot of hip drop tackles, no contact hits and a lot of white guys running around 🤣
Mate, he's played against Pacific Islanders and Maoris. Your average All Black Maori's response to an NFL D-lineman is to fucking eat him. =]
?
That's because you are watching a highlight reel of tries scored during games. Not all the actual hard play SMH🤷.
Games played in the UK where the majority of the population 82.9% are white.
'Rugby Star' is a bit of a stretch. He's a 'star' in Wales for rugby but thats about it.
Let me guess... A typical bok right? Of course he's a rugby star! Would get into any team in world rugby. Consistent unlike Kolbe! The whole of rugby knows exactly what he can do. He's a lions player also.
@@neilclement8330you don't even have to look at the name to know where he's from. If Kolbe had made the move he'd be wetting himself. LRZ is a star and would get in any rugby team in the world. To be quicker than Johnny May which is something in itself, yet he hardly looks like he's trying and he's a big lad too.
He is a rugby stsr??? What you been watching??
That’s that Cristiano Ronaldo pace
i give him 1 year
Oh, this is a non binary channel.
Take care of him cos he’s on loan and wales want him back in a few years ha.. only just turned 23 and to think won’t be in his prime untill 27..
