VIDEO: Australian Rugby Star Turned NFL Rookie Lowers the 'BOOM' on Defender, Gives Critics Something to Think About
September 04, 2015
Whoa.
Former Australian rugby star Jarryd Hayne joined the San Francisco 49ers as a rookie running back this year — and some of his critics predicted he likely wouldn’t even make the final roster.
But Hayne has showed surprising potential and the devastating blow he delivered to a defender Thursday night might just prove he has a future in the NFL.
Watch Hayne lower the “BOOM” on a San Diego Chargers defender:
He later showed off his vision and footwork as he broke off a big run.
America loves a good underdog story.
