49ers' Hayne turning heads among Broncos, too

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -– Jarryd Hayne has heard it so many times since signing in March from those who want to help him achieve his goal of playing in the NFL.

And during two practices with the Denver Broncos, the former Australia National Rugby League star heard it from the opposition, too. At 6-foot-2, 225 pounds, Hayne makes a big target for opposing defensive players. Hayne knows he must do a better job of keeping his pad level low.
