Rugby star Louis Rees-Zammit will be signing with the #Chiefs on Friday, per sources.
After working out and impressing Kansas City’s staff earlier this week, they have agreed on terms. I’m told Rees-Zammit will be playing RB/WR. pic.twitter.com/o6ftzwhC6F

So the only other level this can be groundbreaking is in the passing game, and here is where laterals run counter to NFL strategy. In order to lateral you obviously need two players, but scheming a nice gain in football is generally designed around getting a player in space with as few people around as possible. You don't want Kelce running routes with Rice 5 yards away ready for a lateral, that's just inviting problems. Couple that with the fact that unlike in Rugby, the defense is always at a fairly large advantage tackling wise given the Oline and probably QB are out of the play once the ball is thrown down field, and you are going to have to find a lateral play that can attack 4 or so vs 6-8 guys. So even if the lateral works, it's probably not going for some huge gain. Ultimately there is a reason kelce has done this like 4 times in hundreds of catches in his career. It's just not a viable NFL strategy to consistently do and spend time on practicing.
Helluva athlete used to playing with an oblong ball. Doesn't take up any roster space and inexpensive as far as players go. I don't see any real downside to this. Who knows what the ceiling is. [Reply]
Have watched this lad a lot, as i am from Gloucestershire, UK! This signing has me very excited.
He was a very promising player from a young age that England and Wales both wanted his national allegiance. As people can see, very fast, very agile, very twitchy. Will be right at home during the new kick returns and will most certainly have better hands than some of the garbage we saw at WR last year [Reply]
Embedding is rough. Clicking share, then clicking embed, then clicking copy. You basically have to know advanced coding to be able to maneuver something like that. [Reply]

In fairness, YouTube has for some reason decided to make this a pain in the ass. If you're actually watching a video or on that video's dedicated page, there is no "Share" button anymore. You have to go find that video in a list, either on it's channel or via search, then you can right click on some options that lead you to be able to share. I'm guessing they don't really want people embedding as they'd rather get visitors to YouTube itself. [Reply]

We always have to have a new player to be excited about that we got cheap that might help the team. Every year.
We already have the talent to bring that 3peat home. All the rest of the off-season is just icing on the 3peat immortality cake.
The dude is fast. He's use to getting hit without pads and holding on to the ball. Andy could have a blast with this guy. [Reply]

When I pull up a YouTube video the share button is right underneath it right next to thumbs up/down. Every single time. [Reply]
