Jarryd Hayne to the NFL!

[emjaycee]

I though Jarryd was using number 38.
Guess he has changed.

Just plenty of sun this week in San Fran... :lol::lol::lol:

 

[T.S Quint]

I can't even tell who that is.
It's just a helmet with darkness inside.

Tomsula the coach of the 49ers stated that the real test would come very soon when Hayne is in full kit.'at the moment he is still in shorts.

shorts? ... 15 inch longer pants is the turning point? .... i would have thought the helmet and shoulder pads where the kit makes a difference

 

[hindy111]

I reckon helmet will make a difference.Cant see the shoulder pads being a huge problem.

 

[strider]

they are already wearing helmets - I've seen the pictures ffs

Photoshop.

Actually the helmets are photoshopped too. I went to an NFL game and none of them were wearing helmets. They add those in later with CGI.

They don't even physically play. What you see is holographic representation of the two captains playing Madden 15.

I must say I'm very impressed by how Nine and Fox superimpose the sponsorship signage onto the ground and make it appear as if it is actually painted onto the ground. I'm surprised more sports aren't doing it.

Maybe getting used to wearing tights is a challenge.
He is already training with a helmet, but not pads. That will make a difference.

The action scenes are taken straight out of gang bang porno movies.

San Francisco 49ers: 5 Players Whose Stock Is on the Rise After OTAs

The 49ers know Jarryd Hayne may have a long way to go before he can make an impact in the NFL following his switch from playing rugby league in Australia, yet the would-be running back and return man seems to be performing well in one aspect of the game.
Maiocco stated that Hayne was "ultra-smooth" when catching passes out of the backfield during OTAs and also fielded punts along with free-agent acquisition Reggie Bush.
The fact that Hayne appears to be having no problems with ball-handling is no surprise, given his experience as a full-back in rugby, a position that sees players field a lot of kicks and work with the ball in their hands in heavy traffic. The real challenge for Hayne will be learning the playbook and the blocking techniques employed in the NFL.
There can be little doubt Hayne has the athleticism to succeed in pro football, the big question is whether he can overcome the steep learning curve on the mental side of the game. But for now, any positive news should be seen as a step forward for Hayne as he transitions to a new sport.

Good stuff. Hope he does well with the playbook.

 

[Casper The Ghost]

Awesome - Go Jarryd.

Damn, bad news on both counts. Jessie another Australian has had rotten luck since being drafted, and really want hayne to make it.

I would love hayne yo make it so I can get a hayne jersey.

This has been the consensus of Americans since he announced he was going over, I always assumed he'd be a kick returner and be deep on the bench for RB. Which makes sense, cause returning kicks is the part of NFL football that is the closest match to his NRL skill set.

I think he'll make it, given the 49'ers PR/KR guy isn't a specialist, and they need him back at WR, and he's injured right now.

 

[Chipmunk]

I think The Plane was always only ever going to make the team as a kick/punt returner. It was ludicrous to suggest he would get on the field in 2015 as a running back. With Reggie Bush keen to do some kick/punt returning also it will be interested to see if they persist with The Plane after August.

Hayne runs too upright to succeed as an NFL running back

They don't say...

Kick returns were always Hayne's only real hope. He has an amazing skill set for that, being able to spontaneously play whatever lies in front of him with ball in hand - with the added advantage in NFL of defensive blockers!

But can't see him having the explosiveness in tight quarters or the memory for the playbook to succeed at running back.

Fantastic, now he can play 6 minutes every week. Must be awesome.
