Jarryd Hayne Reflects on Growth since Joining 49ers Practice Squad

Let’s get this out of the way first: Jarryd Hayne wants to be with the San Francisco 49ers in 2016.

“Oh definitely,” he told reporters on Friday.

The rookie running back added that he has no intention of giving up on his transition from the National Rugby League to the NFL.

“It’s been exciting,” Hayne said. “If I can come this far in seven months, give me 12-14 and it’s going to be completely different. I think anyone that’s trained with me or has seen my growth will tell you how much I’ve changed and developed.
