Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.

OT Jarryd Hayne to American Football : Wed Oct 15, 2014 7:58 am  
The thought is that he will be a punt returner? I don't know much about American Football, is he suited to that position and can he make a success of it?

Full back in yankball is catching and then broken field running. So it should suit him.

usually in my view to be retained just as a punt returner a player has to show a good cv of success and an option as a backup at another position to cover late season injuries.There are 100's of fast college players who know and understand return work and don't make it.Cann't see that he has enough to make it work.
Broken field running on a KR or PR is about utilisng your team mates blocks rather than improvisational running,even Devin Hester needs team mates,lol(google the best).

The other problem with being an exceptional kick returner, is that teams just stop kicking to you eventually.

As has already been said, he would need to show he could play another position (probably wide receiver) to be worth an NFL team taking a look.

He'll probably get try-outs somewhere during the spring/summer with the aim of getting onto the active roster for 2015. Don't rate his chances though.

Think he would make a superb kick returner, and possibly running back. I watch a lot of nfl and one thing that strikes me is the players do surrender into the tackle too easily. The great running backs em mitt smith and particularly Walter Payton were so good because that had that second effort determination to ride and push through tackles. Hayne is very good at that too.

Every player in our squad could probably earn more money with another club. But they prefer to sacrifice a few extra quid in their back pocket to share special memories. And playing at a place like Old Trafford on a night like this makes it all worthwhile.

Something must have pricked his curiosity, you don't just turn your back on a very successful RL career on a whim.

Someone somewhere has suggested that he might be in with a sniff.

I'd be very surprised if it's just a case of "that looks easy - I can do that" - if it is then he's taking the BDL tag to a whole new level.

Re: OT Jarryd Hayne to American Football : Thu Oct 16, 2014 1:01 pm  
Interesting piece on the whole thing here...

http://grantland.com/the-triangle/whos- ... fl-dreams/

The quotes from Hayden Smith about it taking months of 12-14 hour days just to learn the playbook to an acceptable standard tell you just how difficult it is to be a success in the NFL. Being a freakishly talented athlete is one thing, but coming from a sport where instinct and athleticism will get you a long way to one where that on its own is nowhere near enough is a tough transition to make.

If he's very, very lucky he might make it onto a roster as a special teams player, but even that is unlikely.

He won't make a roster.

There are thousands of talented athletes who have played the sport their whole careers and been through a college system playing in front of crowds and TV audiences that dwarf the NRL who don't make it onto an NFL roster. To have had an outside chance he needed to be with a team in April through minicamps, training camps and pre-season.

Not one of the 32 professional teams will use a roster spot, part way through the season on a curious athlete from a different sport.
