Rees-Zammit 'picking brain' of Mahomes at Chiefs camp
Written by I Dig Sports
Rees-Zammit said the latest three-day camp with the full Chiefs roster had meant a chance to "dive deep into the playbook".
"Its been a good week overall and definitely helped doing rookie minicamp, getting reps, because the way I learn is actually doing the reps, he said.
The Chiefs have listed Rees-Zammit as a running back, but the four-cap British and Irish Lions wing still believes he could feature as a receiver in the future.
Ive been put in the running back group to start with," he explained.
"I think theres going to be a versatile role for me, Im hoping. The coaches are very creative here, so see what they can do. But its all about me learning the playbook and learning the game because without that I cant do anything else.
"I am fully focused on the now. You know, Ive got to make the team. How am I going to do that? Ive got to perform on the field, Ive got to learn the playbook and then well go from there.
The ex-Gloucester wing, who scored 14 tries in 32 Tests for Wales, feels his current role will help ease his transition from rugby union.
Being in the running back position its easier because I can get the ball earlier as opposed to being out playing wide receiver," he added.
"Its obviously different and catching - you catch laterally in rugby, you dont catch forwards. Thats been a bit different.
"Im just loving being able to work and work on all these crafts because the more I can do, the more I can try and help the team.
