Even if Rees-Zammit does not make a 53-man roster, he would earn a considerable amount of money by signing for an NFL team.
Last season, players on a practice squad had a yearly salary of £170,700 – just under £10,000 for each of the 18 weeks of the regular season.
That figure goes up if players have multiple years of experience, and increases significantly if they can secure a spot in a franchise’s 53-man roster.
In 2023, the minimum salary for first-year players was close to £600,000.
Even the salary of a practice squad player exceeds what most rugby players in the English Premiership would earn.
A report from 2022 showed the average salary in the league during the 2020-21 season was a little under £144,000 a year, and due to salary caps that figure will not have drastically increased since.
Premiership clubs unanimously agreed to cut the salary cap to £5m in the summer of 2020 in response to the financial fallout of the coronavirus pandemic, but it is set to return to £6.4m next season.
