Jarryd Hayne made his debut for the 49ers and if you didn't know what he did for a living before signing a contract in San Francisco, after watching this clip of a run and a punt return, rugby player would be high on most people's lists.

Whether he makes the grade remains to be seen, but it's always nice to have some YouTube plays first time out.

You owe me a minute

What did I do?

Were you expecting him to manage an 80 yard rush TD and a 100 yard punt returned to the house?

3rd on the depth chart at RDE

a long shot to make the roster, on what is a much weaker roster this year than previously

What happens to guys who don't make the rosters?  Is their a lower division NFL for them to play in or are they done for the year?  Or are they paid to be non-roster reserves for the inevitable injuries?

53 man rosters and a 12 man practice squad for younger players with ineligibility

rosters in training camps are at a maximum of 90 so 35 per team or over 700 players will be cut in the next three weeks

a minority will go to the CFL or the Arena football league, some may be picked up by other teams through the year as injuries hit but most will go into other professions/leave the game

Blimey - so you get one shot?  It's unlikely you try out the following year?  Sounds way more brutal than for football rookies in this country.

[TightEnd]

you can often get a shot at a training camp next year but remember 350+ rookies come into the pro game every year from college

250 of these 350 are drafted with guaranteed money and are highly unlikely to be released if drafted in the first five rounds so thats 150+ slots that need to be vacant from last years rosters. of course players retire, but there is a big turnover at the bottom of rosters

10 year careers are rare, below star level.

I think I might be asking the landlord to upgrade the Sky Box to a recording one.
