Chip Kelly might actually try and use Jarryd Hayne in 49ers offense

The San Francisco 49ers have an intriguing weapon in Jarryd Hayne. He did not get a lot of opportunities in 2015, but the hiring of Chip Kelly could make things interesting in 2016.

The San Francisco 49ers decision to hire Chip Kelly will have ramifications up and down the roster. The quarterback position is what we think of first, but even a guy like Jarryd Hayne stands to benefit tremendously from the change.

Hayne signed with the 49ers a little under a year ago, and in the preseason showed off some impressive athleticism. He did benefit for stretches by facing second, third and fourth-stringers, but there was no doubting his ability in open space was quite impressive.
