The Hayne Plane has one more stop before the regular season.
When Rugby League superstar Jarryd Hayne made the transition to the NFL, he was mostly considered as a long-shot to make the San Francisco 49ers final 53-man roster. Then, he started doing things like this:
Former rugby star @jarrydhayne_1 casually catching a crushed punt over-the-shoulder and returning it for 27 yards:
In three preseason games, Hayne has returned six punts for 120 yards, returned one kick for 33, rushed 15 times for 117 and caught a pass for 18. He is averaging 12.5 yards every time he touches the ball and “has himself in the conversation” for a roster spot.
The 27-year-old has one more opportunity to make his case this Thursday against the San Diego Chargers. His best shot at cracking the roster is as a returner, so he should get plenty of chances in that facet of the game. And as we’ve already seen, he’s becoming a must-watch player every time he touches the ball.
Kickoff for this one is at 10 p.m. ET on Thursday, September 3. It will be broadcast on NFL Network (check here for a full list of local affiliates), but if you can’t make it to a TV, here’s how to watch online and on mobile:
