Hayne Gets NFL Contract

  

Jarryd Hayne has fulfilled his dream of becoming an American NFL player. The former rugby league international from Australia has made the San Francisco 49ers’ 53-man roster.

Just a few weeks ago Hayne was struggling to remember the complex plays on the training field, but over the weekend he found out his pre-season struggles were worth the effort.

During the trail games Hayne was playing primarily as a running back and punt returner. His performances were proving popular on social media in Australian and New Zealand. Hayne’s impressive performances in the preseason left him with the second-most rushing yards of any player in the league.

The former NRL star made the first cut on Tuesday, and is now an official member of one of the most famous franchises in NFL history
