As a British fan of both codes of rugby (more league than union) and a Chiefs fan this is very exciting. Some of the other rugby players to transition had very good all round games built around positional play and versatility (Hayne/Holmes) but LRZ is a much better NFL prospect with long distance speed and change of direction.
If Andy thinks he has it then I can’t wait to see him get down to the Mahomes Texas training group and learn the ropes. |

I remember saying to my rugby mates how dumb it was when he said he was trying to become a WR in the NFL, having never played the game. RB is the most obvious option and he's joining a team that scripts more RB receiving plays than most teams, so he can develop those skills here too. Having said all of that, I'm sceptical and think he'll be a practice squad guy at best this year.

Now that I think about it, this guy might be a great fit for the new KR rules.

Also back up punter in case the punt god blasts a returner and gets concussed.
In all seriousness, this is pretty intriguing. May not amount to anything, especially this year. But, man that dude is big, fast, and athletic. I’m kind of excited! |

One big adjustment he will have to make is getting used to being tackled with both feet in the air making a catch as that is an instant penalty in rugby so rarely happens. |

This should be one guy that'll be ready for the pitch from Kelce.
