Rees-Zammit was known for his incredible speed and agility on the rugby field, a coveted quality in the NFL.
However, the 23-year-old’s move was not without its challenges, as Rees-Zammit already plays multiple positions, including running back and special teams.
Scheckter believes wide receiver might be the best fit for him.
“Ultimately, it’s all about developing his football IQ,” Scheckter explained.
“He needs to absorb as much knowledge as possible about the game. It’s been tough for him, but his athletic ability is undeniable and that will give him a solid foundation.”
Rees-Zammit’s future in the NFL remains uncertain as Jacksonville is set to hire a new head coach.
The Jaguars chose not to sign Rees-Zammit to a reserve/future contract, which the franchise can use to prevent a player from negotiating a contract with another team.
As a result, the former Wales winger could sign a contract with any of the NFL’s 32 teams, but could potentially return to Jacksonville in the future.
“Their season is already over and they won’t really start coming back until late March or early April,” Schechter said.
“We don’t have anyone in the building right now, but we’re doing everything we can to make sure he re-signs with the Jags or finds another team.”
