Jarryd Hayne, RB SF
The 27-year old former rugby star looked explosive in the pre-season game last night with a 53 yard run. He also is being used as a returner. At this point he is obviously just trying to make the roster but he could be a cheap add with some upside.
Re: Jarryd Hayne, RB SF
Cheap being the operative word. The niners got him for next-to-nothing.
I think in some of my deeper IDP/return yard leagues I would add him because he is very likely to be a good ST player. The intricacies of NFL offense might be a little much for any early contributions and I think PS is a more likely result for him.
However the rugby transition is interesting because they are a much more straightforward run and sure tackling sort. He didn't look as out-of-place as I thought he might

Re: Jarryd Hayne, RB SF
I'm in a 12-team 30-player roster league with offensive players only. So at least 360 players are taken.
He was drafted in the 30th round.. by an Australian member in our league; so I'm sure his Australian background played a part in drafted him.
In very deep leagues - could be worth a flier.

Re: Jarryd Hayne, RB SF
SF is going to have a dumpster fire of an offense this year. I'm not wasting a valuable roster spot on what is at best their 3rd string RB. He had one long run in an early preseason game, and I think after going so long without football, when we see a big play our brains fizzle and cause us to do dumb things, like pick up Jarryd Hayne

Re: Jarryd Hayne, RB SF
I see the projected struggles for SF helping a player like Hayne. Desperate coaches do desperate things and a stagnant offense can be lured into giving the home-run hitter touches.sugbear65 wrote:SF is going to have a dumpster fire of an offense this year.

Re: Jarryd Hayne, RB SF
The guy is more talented physically than given credit for. He also has already played at the highest stage in Australian sport and at a consistently high level. It will take some serious luck for him to get meaningful carries, but I firmly believe he could carve out a nice role for himself. He came in at number 2 (albeit with Kendall Hunter and Bush sitting out) and impressed with most touches. His run had a large hole, but he found it (T-Rich would have lost yards there), he made a player missed and finished with power on a stiff arm. Not sure if anyone here has seen the video of the goalline TD he scored in camp earlier, but he broke 3 tackles on that with the 1st team to score the TD.
Should you add him? No, but I would (and will) keep a close eye on him.

Re: Jarryd Hayne, RB SF
Somehow people on his board have projected big roles for 5 rb's on the 49ers...
Re: Jarryd Hayne, RB SF
Don't know anything about this guy but I am wondering if he is/was a superstar in Aussie rugby why is he coming to be likely a ST player in the NFL?
Re: Jarryd Hayne, RB SF
A guy took him in like round 19 of our startup back in April. Its only a 10 team league too. He is a 49er fan to give you some context on the reach

Re: Jarryd Hayne, RB SF
From what I've read it was a Jordan Baseball type of situation where he just wanted a different challenge. The NFL is popular across the world too. Good thing running a sweep is easier to learn than how to hit the curveball.Csl312 wrote:Don't know anything about this guy but I am wondering if he is/was a superstar in Aussie rugby why is he coming to be likely a ST player in the NFL?

Re: Jarryd Hayne, RB SF
He had a good run, but Hayne looked super stiff to me, I can't imagine him being any kind of relevant starting NFL RB, but a special teamer like someone said, I could easily see that. I'm more interested in Mike Davis, I'm not real high on Carlos Hyde and the 49ers look like they are going to be a bad team so alot of young guys will get to play so even though Hyde will get every chance to succeed, I could see Davis getting a chance as well. I've got him in like 3 leagues for next to nothing so I think it's worth a chance for where you can get Davis.

Re: Jarryd Hayne, RB SF
Same here. I didn't get to see the game, but was a bit surprised that Davis only got 3 carries, while Hayne got the majority. I had hoped to get to see a bit more from him.Cowboysfan33 wrote:He had a good run, but Hayne looked super stiff to me, I can't imagine him being any kind of relevant starting NFL RB, but a special teamer like someone said, I could easily see that.

Re: Jarryd Hayne, RB SF
To put it in perspective he was considered for a while the best player in the game and has consistently been one of the top 3-5. He passed on a multi year multi million dollar deal to pursue Gridiron. The deal he passed up would have been the equivalent to the top 3 salaries in the league...the NFL equivalent would an Adrian Peterson/Marshawn Lynch type status and respect.Csl312 wrote:Don't know anything about this guy but I am wondering if he is/was a superstar in Aussie rugby why is he coming to be likely a ST player in the NFL?
He felt he had done everything he wanted to do and felt if he was any older he might not have an opportunity to attempt a code switch to the NFL.
He still has an uphill battle to make the roster and I fear a bad fumble could derail his career very quickly.
edit - for those who have facebook this was the TC goalline run I mentioned...not too shabby. https://www.facebook.com/SANFRANCISCO49 ... 085011875/
