The NFL dream continues from rugby league star Jarryd Hayne.
The Australian gave up a lucrative career in Australia's NRL to pursue a career in America. He was signed in the off season by San Francisco 49ers as a novice and has played in all four of their pre season games to critical acclaim.
Hayne's journey to try and make the 49ers squad for the regular season has been one of the main stories on the field of an otherwise boring pre season campaign.
In the 49ers last pre season game last night, he impressed once more as a running back and punt returner.
Oh. That's just former Rugby League star @jarrydhayne_1, turning NFL defenders into pancakes. #SDvsSF http://t.co/sObSmoGhX9

The story has become massive new in Hayne's Australia with most news organisations sending reporters to California last night to cover the game against the San Diego Chargers.
