    Louis Rees-Zammit who played for Wales is trying to make it in NFL too. But there's a lot of very good college players over there who don't make into the NFL.

    Well he's overcome a huge hurdle by actually getting drafted by the Bills .

    What NFL coaches look for are big units to have explosive speed over short distances , his speed stats are phenomenal .

    Basically he's got all the attributes and the Bills coaches have something to work on in teaching him the game .

    I'll be amazed if he makes it as a wide receiver in the NFL , totally different from playing on the wing in Rugby Union , he's got speed to burn I'll say that but Wide Receiver in the NFL is a massively difficult position to have to learn from scratch .

    I think he'll be back in Rugby Union pretty soon personally .

    Think they're looking to use him as a special teams return specialist as the NFL has a new kick-off format.
