The San Francisco 49ers rookie from the Australian Rugby League got his NFL career off to a strong start in the team's preseason opener. He had a big rush, and two solid punt returns. Can he build on it?
The man the Australians call the Hayne Plane made quite an impression in his first NFL action. Jarryd Hayne looked solid working as both a running back and return man. He finished the first half with 63 rushing yards and 24 punt return yards.
Hayne rushed for two yards on his first attempt, but shortly thereafter followed it up with a nice 53-yard rush.
