Louis Rees-Zammit, a new rugby recruit, amazes Patrick Mahomes with his incredible athletic abilities.

During an appearance on the “Riggle’s Pick” podcast, hosted by actor/comedian Rob Riggle, Mahomes shed light on Rees-Zammit’s progress. When asked about “the British guy,” Mahomes’ immediate response was, “He’s really fast.”

“I think what’s been the best part about him is he works his tail off man. He understands he needs to get better, he needs to continue to work. But the athletic ability is unreal. I mean, 24 miles per hour, wherever they clocked him at rugby, is real. My boy, he’s fast and it’s just about him learning football compared to rugby.”

“Deneric Prince would be the number three running back right now,” Derrick noted. He also suggested that Rees-Zammit might not serve as a conventional running back if injuries were to sideline Pacheco and Edwards-Helaire.

“I increasingly have Louis Rees-Zammit making this team. Just because the way that the Chiefs keep using him in so many different ways and certainly the way that [special teams coordinator] Dave Toub talks about him and is using him on special teams,” he explained.
