The online reaction was mixed regarding the American football debut made by Louis Rees-Zammit last Saturday in Jacksonville, but his Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid has given a more positive verdict on the former rugby international’s cameo in the 13-26 pre-season loss.

Back in training ahead of next Saturday’s home pre-season fixture versus Detroit Lions at Arrowhead Stadium, Reid was asked for his thoughts on how the 23-year-old ex-Gloucester and Wales rugby player did during his fleeting debut involvement.

Listen, it was exciting for him to have a chance to get in there and play,” enthused Reid, the maestro who has coached the Chiefs to four SuperBowl title victories in the last five seasons.

      “It’s faster than what he has seen in practice, so from an experience standpoint it was great for him. That was a positive and then just build on it.”

      Reid’s judgement, given in a media briefing video uploaded to the Kansas club website, was followed by a social media post on X showing a nine-second training ground clip of Rees-Zammit in action. Titled ‘Can’t catch lightning, but Rees-Lightning can catch’, the NFL apprentice was recorded catching a throw on the run from quarterback Chris Oladokun.

      Regarding his American football debut at the Jaguars, Rees-Zammit posted a collection of pictures from the game in Florida on his Instagram account. Those photos were accompanied by the message: “Time to learn from every moment and get better.”

      MY  HERPES STORY AND HOW I WAS CUREDFor years, I struggled with the emotional and physical burden of the herpes virus, believing I would have to live with it forever. I tried countless treatments, medications, and therapies, but nothing seemed to bring lasting relief. It felt like a battle with no end in sight until I discovered a natural remedy that changed everything (herbs). Skeptical at first, I decided to give it a try, and to my surprise, I started noticing improvements in my overall well-being within two days of taking the medication. With consistency as prescribed by the herbal doctor, I felt healthier, more energized, and free from the symptoms that had once controlled my life. After completing the treatment, (14days) I visited my doctor for confirmation, and I was overjoyed with the results. I tested negative. I was cured from my HSV1&2This experience has given me back my confidence, peace of mind, and a renewed sense of hope. If you or someone you know is struggling with herpes or other health concerns like HPV, endometriosis, ovarian cysts, PCOS, or hepatitis, know that there are alternative options available and you will be cured. For those seeking a natural approach to wellness, I encourage you to explore this path with an open mind. You never know how life-changing it might be.
