A person with knowledge of the contract told The Associated Press that Welsh rugby star Louis Rees-Zammit has agreed to a contract with the two-time defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the team hasn't announced the deal. The 23-year-old Rees-Zammit, one of the best wingers in rugby, announced in January that he was leaving the Welsh national team to pursue a dream of playing in the NFL. He's projected as a returner/running back/wide receiver. Rees-Zammit is one of 15 athletes from eight countries participating in the NFL International Player Pathway program.
