Jarryd Hayne closes in on roster spot
The Australian ripped off a 53-yard run and 33-yard kick return in his debut and tallied 138 all-purpose yards in his next outing. Consequently, Hayne has given San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Tomsula enough film to make a decision about the converted rugby player’s future. Cam Inman of the San Jose Mercury News notes Tomsula said, “I’ve seen what I need to see. There’s been a great evaluation on him.” Hayne’s contributions on special teams might prove to be enough for a spot on the 49ers roster—and an outstanding story in the process.
