Former Kangaroos player Jarryd Hayne has signed with NFL side the San Francisco 49ers.

Hayne’s 53-yard burst came in the opening drive of the second quarter as the 49ers would go on to score a touchdown through Garrett Celek. His first run went for a 2-yard gain deep in 49ers territory, and he finished with five carries for a team-high 63 yards. SB Nation There’s much more to being an NFL player than with the ability to do this, in fact, still it’s impressive to see Hayne’s expertise translate onto the NFL field.

Hayne will certainly be a player NFL fans will want to keep an eye on throughout the preseason as he tries to make an NFL roster.

“You get into a situation where you are rooting for guys”, Tomsula said.

Hayne made free safety Raheem Moore miss at midfield, stumbled 10 yards later, and eventually pushed cornerback A.J. Bouye to the ground before running out of bounds at the 13. Bowman, who hasn’t played since injuring his left knee in the NFC title game in January 2014, is expected to play next week…. It’s so overwhelming the support I’ve received back in the Southern Hemisphere from Australia to Fiji to the pacific islands, NZ n so on.
