Chip Kelly thinks Jarryd Hayne has intriguing skillset

The San Francisco 49ers struggled to figure out what to do with Jarryd Hayne in 2015, but I have to think things could get at least a little more interesting with head coach Chip Kelly. The recently hired coach met with 49ers beat writers on Thursday, and had a chance to briefly comment on Hayne. Here's what he said, courtesy of Matt Maiocco:

"I think it's pretty amazing just because I know how difficult this game is, and to not have any background in it and then to be able to play at its highest level is really a credit to him in terms of what type of athlete he is," Kelly said Thursday at the NFL Scouting Combine.
