Louis Rees-Zammit, the former rugby star and newest member of Kansas City Chiefs team, has shared how his fellow teammates Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce have sent him private messages welcoming him to the team.

creeping in, the 23-year-old acknowledged that he could turn into a return specialist for special teams.

Having only just signed, Rees-Zammit is yet to meet dynamic duo Mahomes and Kelce due to it being offseason. But he divulged that he’s had interactions with them over messages. “Pat and Travis have messaged me,” he revealed while chatting with The Rugby Pod.

Lightheartedly joking that Mahomes feels is his “best mate” already after having been on chummy terms with him so quickly, Rees-Zammit disclosed what was written in the messages. “Yeah, Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce messaged me saying: ‘Welcome to KC, if you ever need anything, let me know.”

The Chiefs rookie has also made acquaintance with few more members of the team. In Louis’ own words, “I’ve met all the coaches, and they were so lovely to me as well. I’ve met a couple of players; I haven’t met everyone.When you step into the facility, you just feel like you’re going to win. They have all their Super Bowl trophies straight ahead of you, and everyone in the building is so confident, they’re so chatty.

“You just feel a belief within the facility itself, so when I went in there, I was just blown away and knew it was the place I wanted to be.

“I really believe in myself, and I really believe that I can come here and make a difference to the team.”
