Recently, starring Chiefs quarter-back Mahomes spoke very highly of the Welshman after training with him for a few weeks.

“”We’re starting him at running back,” explained Mahomes. “He’ll do a lot of special team stuff, and he can actually catch. So it looks different. He catches it like he’s catching a rugby (ball), but he never drops the football, so you don’t complain about it.

“And I think what’s been the best part about it is he works his tail off. The athletic ability is unreal. He’s got the toughness, but until he gets in the game and understands how to move and how to use that athletic ability, you don’t know exactly where he’s at. But [when] he’s in space, man, he can make stuff happen.”
