Hayne to the NFL???

[Canard]

People are getting way too excited at the idea of Hayne being signed now. It's three weeks out from the playoffs. He'll be on the practice squad at best. No team is going to throw an untested player into the fire in the playoffs.

If he gets signed it'll be in the offseason and he'll go to training camp when they're allowed the bigger rosters and then he'll get his chance in preseason games one and two. After that is when they start cutting guys.

He's aiming to play special teams and without Percy Harvin Seattle have some interest in him as a kick returner so he may end up there but at the moment it's just speculation. They could grab a kid in the draft who has a specialised position and plays special teams which will make his life hard.

Every article on him says he is trying out for next season.

Why are people assuming that everyone thinks it will be this season?

Probably because when it first happened lots of people were saying "Bah! No team would even look twice at him!"....

Then when some interest was shown through US media, it turned to "He's thousands to even make a practice squad! He'll be back by the time the 2015 season starts LOL"....

Now that it appears that at least one team (possibly several) is showing genuine interest and is likely to sign him up for a proper trial, they need to resort to "He won't ever play an actual game, you guys..."

These people range from a mixture of your typical aussie tall popper choppers through to the NFL fanboy types who hold up gridiron players as superhuman gods. Personally I look forward to Hayne proving them all wrong.

Nailed it.

Couldn't agree more.

The main reason I would like him to play NFL isn't because it would prove the League players are world class athletes but just for the shits and giggles about all the butthurt on here it would cause.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Of equal concern are the League fans with chips on their shoulders who seem to be offended at the notion that Jarryd Hayne will struggle to make an NFL roster.

I'm sure he'll be given a crack in trials but he has little chance of making a 53-man roster. Why is that elitist?

Dont hold your breathe. He'll be signed after the season, when rosters are able to go from 53 men, to 90, and he'll be a VERY, VERY long shot to make a survive TC.

 

[bottle]

Hayne will be fine.
He just needs to find a mad scientist to expose him to gamma radiation, or get some nuclear fusion infected spider to bite him so hecan develop super powers and match it with the NFL playaaaas.
Or just roid up like they do.

I'm guessing I'm one of the people that is targeted at. If so, I'd love to see where my story changed.

 

[Lambretta]

So not only do you have to have super human physical powers to play NFL but you also have to be a member of Mensa and a chess Grand Master.

Yes - an assumption that is challenged whenever you hear an NFL player speak, cos they sound as thick as pig shit

Amazingly, in America, even people who are thicker than pig shit are all Grand Master Melly Mel and the furious five chest players and Menstral members

Oh hold on, did I get that last bit wrong?

 

[God-King Dean]

I find it ironic that people are saying sarcastically 'ooooo apparently you have to be a supreme athlete & genius to play in the NFL.'

These would be same people who would scoff if a wide receiver tried to play in the NRL.

 

[bottle]

I might titter, but I wouldn't scoff.

:lol:

What... Do you actually think all this signing talk has actually changed something?? :lol:

Nothing's changed...

Any man and his dog is signed up with an NFL team when the rosters are expanded from 53 to 90.

What we've always been talking about is actually making the 53 man roster.... If he's lucky he might crack the 10 man practice squad...

But nothing has changed.... He's too much of a risk to have taking up a roster spot...

Because it is an opinion being put forth generally based on the notion that all NFL players spent their entire lives learning every intricacy and technical aspect of the game since they were children, which is patently wrong.

Fact is it appears Hayne is a shoe in to join a squad for a full pre-season, and from there he is just as much a chance of making the roster as any other promising rookie.

To claim he is next to no chance of making a roster is elitist because it is making a straight assumption that the majority of NFL players are better athletes than Hayne (the stories of the speed, agility, and strength of NFL players have flowed thick and fast in this thread)

Don't forget supreme intelligence and comprehension skills that would put NASA to shame.

Depends on the position they wanted to play. They'd dominate on the wing, but would probably struggle if they tried to play any position requiring ball playing skills.

Problem is though any gridiron player who actually agreed to make a go of it in the NRL would be someone who is incapable of competing at any professional level in their own sport given the enormous pay difference. This would mean they'd likely be incapable of competing professionally in the NRL as well. This isn't the case with Hayne, who was about the most gifted athlete in the code.

 

[Spot On]

Will have to won't he???

 

[some11]

Didn't even realise the next NFL season doesn't even start until September next year.

Gives him plenty of time to win the Hymen trophy.

theyd dominate in attack, just like Koroibete, but would struggle in defence, like Koroibete.

keeping in mind koro has played league since 2011, so 3 years. Not 1 like Hayne is attempting to do.

??? NFL players, in fact American sportsmen in general, are far far far more eloquent than League players.

Richard Sherman as thick as pig shit... good one.

 

[POPEYE]

The biggest risk in all this is not to League but NFL, imagine how the reputation of the stamina deprived borefest the Yanks have brainwashed their population into believing is the greatest form of oval ball sport would suffer if a novice from League embarrassed them.

Next thing they'd be worried that Marcos Ambrose was not a freak after all, merely an average Australian race driver and that American oval circuit racing is a pisspoor excuse for the real thing . . . or baseball was an imagination free version of Cricket
