They should not block for krapernick ... The guy is the most inaccurate qb in history ... would make a great RB though
Safe to say the excitement has well and truly been sucked out of the hayne balloon
Americas fascination with Hayne being a former league start maybe starting to wear thin.Obsession with Hayne's rugby league past getting on the nerves of NFL fans
NFL commentators are walking a thin line with an impatient audience who are getting fed up with being reminded the US leagues latest star recruit Jarryd Hayne is a former NRL player.
As the San Francisco 49ers rookie, and former Parramatta Eels player, almost landed his first touchdown in a match with the New York Giants, social media lit up mocking the broadcast commentators.
BREAKING: Jarryd Hayne has officially changed his name to Jarryd Hayne, former rugby player to avoid any further confusion, the official Sports Illustrated NFL twitter posted.
Do not drink every time they talk about Hayne playing rugby. You will die, sports writer Matt Miller tweeted.

NFL fans are tiring of commentators' constant reminders of Jarryd Hayne's rugby league past.
The sarcasm flowed freely with fans wanting to hear more about Haynes plays than his past.
Oh Jarryd Hayne is a former rugby player from Australia? wrote one Twitter user, while another tweeted, Hayne played rugby. Did you know that? He was a great rugby player.
Enamoured early on with the Aussie recruit, NFL commentators have previously said Hayne is a no worries kind of athlete and that Vegemite must boost his performance

Not surprising given literally everytime he takes the field the commentators talk about it for about 5 goddamned minutes :lol:
I noticed that one of the Giants gunners got right in his face after his fair catch yesterday giving him a bit of stick. I wonder if the opposition players are getting the shits with him as well? If someone just laid him out after signalling a fair catch, what is the penalty for that? I assume it would just be an unsportsmanlike penalty?
After a receiver has made a fair catch following a valid signal, an opponent may not tackle or block him. he must avoid contact with him.
Penalty for illegal contact with the maker of a fair catch is loss of 15 yards from the mark of the catch.
Do you really think opposition players really care that much to bother putting a late hit on the Punt Returner from the 49ers?
The fine which would follow would hardly be worth it.
