NFL rookies and their playbooks are supposed to be inseparable – attached at the hip if you will.
When it comes to Jarryd Hayne, however, it appears the Australian import is taking that phrase somewhat literal.
“He actually goes out to walk-through with a cheat sheet,” fellow running back Carlos Hyde said. “He folds it up and puts it in his shorts.
“That’s the first time I’ve ever seen anyone go out there with a sheet of notes.”
A bit unusual, yes, but Hayne’s “open book” practice ritual is certainly understandable.
