In a recent interview with Telegraph Sport, Rees-Zammit name-checked Deebo Samuel and Christian McCaffrey as dual-threat players playing as hybrid wide receivers and running backs who he hoped to emulate in the NFL. Both Samuel and McCaffrey ran 4.48 at their respective pro days before they were drafted. Christian Wade, the former Buffalo Bills running back who returned to rugby and is now with Racing 92, recorded a 4.53 time during his 40-yard dash.
Rees-Zammit also ran routes, impressed with his footwork, and competed in broad and vertical jump drills but looked disappointed with his performance in the broad jump, recording 9ft 7in.
