Jacksonville Jaguars' WR Louis Rees-Zammit on NFL future
Current Jacksonville Jaguars' wide receiver, Louis Rees-Zammit, recently discussed his future in the NFL in an interview with talkSPORT's Hawksbee and Jacobs. Rees-Zammit is embarking on his second NFL season. Before making the transition to the NFL, the Wales native was an accomplished rugby player. Advertisement During the 2024 offseason, he signed with the Kansas City Chiefs as part of the NFL's International Pathway Program (IPP). After being released during roster cutdowns last summer, he caught on with the Jaguars' practice squad, where he spent the remainder of the 2024 season. "International players get probably two to three years to make it in the NFL," said Rees-Zammit, via "So, I wanted to do it at a time where I maybe could come back to rugby." Rees-Zammit is currently the Jaguars' IPP designated player, which allows them to have 91 players on the offseason roster and carry 17 players on the practice squad in-season if he makes the team in that capacity and retains the IPP designation. If Rees-Zammit were to make the 53-man roster, he would no longer have the IPP designation. However, how this upcoming season unfolds for Rees-Zammit will, from the sounds of it, strongly dictate whether he continues to pursue an NFL career or return to his rugby career. Advertisement "I'm 24 now, probably got one to two more years to try and make it depending on how this year goes," Rees-Zammit said. "I'll be 25, 26 when I go back to rugby. I like to think I can still play at the highest level." At the receiver position for the Jaguars, we know that four roster spots are already accounted for with Brian Thomas Jr., Travis Hunter, Dyami Brown, and Parker Washington. At a position where typically five or six players are rostered, that leaves just one to two spots available. Beyond those top four spots on the depth chart, there is a lot of inexperience at the receiver position for the Jaguars, which can lead to opportunities. However, with Rees-Zammit still relatively new to the game of football, he's navigating a steeper learning curve than the other wideouts vying for a roster spot.

It's the latest blow for Saffron who has had a troubled 12 months. In October she was rushed to hospital with "shooting pains" after developing "rashes all over my body".

Describing her symptoms, Saffron said: 'I had all the symptoms (of a tropical disease) being, rashes all over my body, headache, body aches, shooting pains in my body, temperature, sore throat and ears etc. 'After getting my bloods taken turns out I didn't have that but my white blood cells were half the number they should be so very low and therefore my whole body was trying to fight the infection.' While in January last year she had to be stretched off a ski slope after suffering a nasty fall. Fast forward to this February and Saffron learned her ex-boyfriend, Louis Rees-Zammit, had moved on with a new woman that looked just like her. Saffron, 24, shared a thinly-veiled swipe on TikTok after Louis shared holiday snaps with his new girl.

Strictly star slammed by fans for 'damaging' video Over the video, she wrote: "No revenge because I have quite frankly literally never heard anyone say something nice about you." Saffron then captioned it: "And Karma always get them."
