TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Welsh rugby star Louis Rees-Zammit was dripping sweat and still catching his breath after finishing up receiving drills when several NFL scouts approached him at the University of South Florida’s pro day. Rees-Zammit politely answered every question before walking off to speak to reporters. One of the best wingers in rugby now was the center of attention on a football field instead of a pitch. The talented 23-year-old stunned rugby fans when he announced in January that he was leaving his Wales team to pursue his dream of playing in the NFL.
