Jarryd Hayne to the NFL!

[hindy111]

There have been plenty of blokes who made careers out of special teams. Just because they have a position on offence/defence doesn't mean that is where they spent most of their time. Anyway, Hayne is a running back. Even if he plays special teams.

So is hyde-reggie Bush-hunter and the new guy they drafted.
see you next year hayne

I can't actually see The Plane coming back to the NRL. Why would he bother? He could realistically play Rugby in Japan or France and earn twice what he could in the NRL with little or no effort. I doubt he would even have to put in any effort at training. He could spend all his time on the Playstation and trying to find a decent coffee...

I doubt anyone in the NRL has got the Salary Cap space to afford The Plane any longer, and that includes Parra.

There is a difference thou.If he spends another 4-5 yrs in the nrl he will end up more than likely with a job for life. With 3rd party and origin and tests I reckon Hayne would get 1.5mill a year. Would he really earn than much more in rugby?-And if he was doing it for money he never would of left in first place right?
Im sure the NRL wouldn't want to lose him to union either.Especially after the Falou mistake.

Agreed.

Eventually playing @ 6 (Foran @ 7) Hayne can come back and play NRL until he was 35-37. He is that good. Bar career ending injury, Hayne can set himself up as an immortal, possibly the best of all-time, with a career after retirement especially tailored to ride out the rest of his life.

SF have already "unearthed their running back of the future" in Carlos Hyde.
Plus they have depth with Reggie Bush and Kendall Hunter.
I'd say that 4th on the list would probably be Alfonso Smith over Hayne. SF were never going to draft a RB, especially not in the 1st round.

Wish they drafted an OT actually. Our O-line last year was pus.

Shows what I know. :lol:

But really, I was surprised at the pick. Especially considering we desperately needed someone for our o-line, a WR and a Corner.

Jarryd Hayne's has a new hurdle in his fight for a spot in the San Francisco 49ers fulltime roster with the NFL team drafting another running back for the ex-NRL star to battle.
The 49ers have hooked Mike Davis, a fourth round draft pick, from the University of South Carolina, setting up a direct rival for Hayne to snare the No. 4 spot behind running backs Carlos Hye, Reggie Bush and Kendall Hyde.
San Francisco general manager Trent Baalke told The Bay Area News Group Davis' signing was all about creating competition for spots.
"Like we do at every position, we’re going to roll out the ball, coaches are going to coach the heck out of them, and we’re going to find out exactly what we have in every one of those players and what role they will fill if they're on the (opening-day roster)," Baalke said.
For Hayne, winning a spot in the 53-man roster over Davis shapes as a huge challenge with the highly rated 175cm, 98kg athlete, boasting identical dimensions to the 49ers all-time leading rusher, Frank Gore, who left the team to join the Indianapolis Colts.
It comes after Hayne last week acknowledged the long road ahead to snare a fulltime spot with the 49ers.
"Everyone's good and you have to realise everyone is trying to make the roster," Hayne said.
"We’ve got maybe 50 percent of the boys guaranteed a spot, and the rest are still chipping away, looking to make the squad.
"Part of this experience was that humbling of myself."
According to NFL reporter Cam Inman, The Bay Area News Group, Hayne's best chance of snaring an opening-day roster spot, hinges on his special-teams ability, such as returning kicks and punts as well as a tackling ability in coverage.
The 49ers are four weeks into their offseason training program, which ends June 11, with the fulltime squad to be decided in August ahead of a September10 start for the next NFL season.

For those more in the know with the NFL Draft, are teams more obliged to put all their draft picks in the 53 man final roster, or are they all just vying for a spot like the rest of them? Apparently 49ers have 81 players on their roster at the moment.

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

By mid-August they have to reduce the roster to 75 players, then 53 by start of season. They don't have to put draft picks on the 53 man roster, but if they don't, and they don't otherwise deal with them (e.g. putting them on injured reserve for season, practice squad places) they have to waive the players and they are free to sign elsewhere if someone else puts in a claim. That's my basic understanding anyway.

 

[hindy111]

I think you will find your top 5 picks will end up in your system. Board would look a little silly if most your draft players arent in the squad somewhere wouldnt they?

philli had right idea-When there was know one they wanted they swapped a 4th rnd for next year 3 rd rnd.

no, there have been cases of 2nd - 3rd rd picks over the years not even making the squad, however it is very unlikely.


Also, it is not uncommon for all 7 draft picks plus a 3 or 4 undrafted rookies make the 53. People on here and those not privy to the NFL here don't realise how many undrafted rookies each year make the final squad. Plenty of undrafted rookies have gone onto stellar careers in the NFL

i wasn't, and even thought th ebills are loaded in the back field they still drafted one too. The game is going back to a running league..

 

[eel speel]

Jarryd looked good in the news clip. He seems determined to make it and his team mates speak of admiration his efforts

Do you reckon they'd be likely to say 'He's really keen but has no chance'?

 

[jk13]

Being a tight end at the miners would be the biggest worry, they have about 8 now. They still don't have a legitimate kick return, probably his only chance this year to get on the field

 

[WaznTheGreat]

If you read the comments at the bottom of this article pretty much all the San Fran fans who commented have Hayne making the squad

That's pretty cool. Pretty much anyone who mentioned Hayne there spoke in nothing but positive terms...

If he does make the final cut for season 2015/16, I take it he has to go through all of this again next year to secure a spot on the 2016/17 roster?? Will the circus continue??

 

[Forty20]

The general consensus on reddit (/r/49ers) is that Hayne is a real shot at making the cut as a special teams ace. He is almost certainly outside the top three running backs at the club on the depth chart but could edge in at fourth spot.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Yeah I think so. Hayne said only about half the guys (so about 26 players) are guaranteed a spot on the roster.

18 Observations from 49ers Thursday OTA Session

-------8<-----
12. Australian rugby league import Jarryd Hayne caught three short passes out of the backfield in the red-zone period. For a beginning football player, Hayne was able to demonstrate soft hands and solid route-running skills.

14. The 49ers closed out the practice session with special teams work. The most notable sight was observing Hayne catch punts. Moreover, the rugby superstar fielded punts and hold on to the balls he previously caught. Hayne got up to four balls in his arms, but he couldn't seem to hold down the fifth football. He failed on two occasions. Nonetheless, it provided some special teams entertainment to close out the day.
