NFL: The hip-drop tackle is officially illegal in the NFL after the owners decided to ban it on Monday morning during the Annual League Meeting in Orlando.
Former Welsh rugby union star Louis Rees-Zammit has raised more than a few eyebrows after he signed a deal with the Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs.
“Hi Chiefs Kingdom. Louis Rees-Zammit here. Just signed. Can’t wait to go and see you all at Arrowhead ,” Rees-Zammit said in a video clip posted on X.The NFL Network reported that Rees-Zammit, who played for English Premiership side Gloucester from 2018 until this year, has signed a three-year deal with a signing bonus and some portion of the deal guaranteed.
“We at the Indianapolis Colts had a few guys from New Zealand, I think we had an African rugby player come onto our team and give it a shot, other teams have signed rugby players. I think there’s other styles of football in Ireland. Despite a disappointing 40-yard dash, Rees-Zammit once recorded a top speed of 38.9km/h during a match, which is faster than current NFL speed champion Tyreek Hill of the Miami Dolphins, who hit 35km/h in a match while running 64 yards for a touchdown.Brad Henson Productions tweeted: “Tyreek Hill had on full padding, and ran 23.24 MPH. Louis Rees-Zammit ran in a game 24.2 MPH, but had on less padding.
