Mahomes and the Chiefs have their sights set on history this season, looking for a historic three-peat.
The 28-year-old player joined the Riggles’ Choices Podcast to preview the next season on Wednesday.
Rees-Zammit joined Chiefs in March following a surprise move from rugby union.
Former Welsh international, the sprinter signed a three-year, $2,850,000 contract with Arrowhead.
Mahomes was surprised by how quickly Rees-Zammit adapted to football.
And the three-time Super Bowl champion revealed he could be the rookie to watch next season.
“He’s been playing running back, as well as a lot of special teams,” Mahomes revealed.
“He can catch it – it looks different, he catches it like a rugby ball. But he never drops it.

“The best part is that he works really hard. He understands that he needs to improve.
“The athletic ability is unreal, he runs 24 mph. My boy is fast.”
“Give him some space and he’ll make things happen.”
“Zammit looks like this kid is real!” wrote one fan on X in response to the exchange.
“I know who to choose in the costume now…” laughed another.
“I’ve been saying this since before the combine. He is a player to watch,” commented a third.
“Pat likes him. She already calls him ‘my boy”, added a fourth.

But if you can’t make it in person, don’t worry, there’s still time to set up your stream before the season starts.

“I’ve been training really hard for seven or eight weeks and I think I’m in a good position.
