Jarryd Lee Hayne (born 15 February 1988) is an Australian American football running back for the San Francisco 49ers of the National Football League (NFL). Prior to joining the NFL, Hayne played rugby league for the Parramatta Eels in the National Rugby League (NRL).

Hayne earned representative honours at All Star, state and international levels (Australia and Fiji) throughout his rugby league career. He was awarded the Dally M Medal in 2009 and 2014 as the NRL's player of the year. In 2009, Hayne won the Rugby League International Federation's International Player of the Year award.

Background

Hayne was born on 15 February 1988. He is the son of a Fijian father, Manoa Thompson, and an Australian mother, Jodie. He has three sibling: Julius, Jonah and Evie Thompson. father played professional rugby league for South Sydney, Western Suburbs and the Auckland Warriors while also representing Fiji. Hayne was one of three children raised by his single mother and grew up in a red brick Campbelltown housing commission house in Minto [9] He attended school at John Warby Public School, Leumeah High and Westfields Sports High School but dropped out of high school early to pursue a career in rugby league. Hayne was a national schoolboys champion in the 100-metre hurdles without even training.[10]

Rugby league career

Hayne began playing junior rugby league for Campbelltown City, East Campbelltown and Cabramatta at the age of six.

2000s

Hayne made his NRL debut with the Parramatta Eels at 18 years of age on 19 May 2006 against the Penrith Panthers at CUA Stadium. He quickly made an impression on the competition scoring 17 tries within 16 games in his debut season.[11] This tally included a personal best of four tries against the Newcastle Knights in a 46–12 win to Parramatta.[12] His excellent try scoring ability saw him rewarded with the 2006 Dally M 'Rookie of the Year' award and a spot on the Kangaroos Squad.[13] He was also named the 2006 Parramatta Eels season's rookie of the year.

Hayne playing for Parramatta in 2008.

He started the season at centre but later moved to fullback due to an injury to Luke Burt and scored 12 tries, including the winning try against the New Zealand Warriors in the First Qualifying Final of the 2007 NRL Finals series. Following Parramatta's close victory against Brisbane in July 2007, Hayne was accused of diving to impede Brisbane's momentum after a heavy hit from Sam Thaiday. Then Brisbane coach Wayne Bennett said "You talk about ethics in our sport. You talk about not laying on the ground" and then claimed Hayne should be cited for "bringing the game into disrepute." Hayne denied that he dived to deliberately impede Brisbane's momentum and claimed that he was genuinely hurt after the collision with Thaiday. It should be noted Hayne was not found guilty of any of the accusations either in a court of law or the NRL judiciary.[14] In the 2007 Grand Final qualifier, Hayne was again accused of diving when he stayed down and received a penalty for a high shot. Players also accused Hayne of winking after the incident, Clint Newton saying "To lay down like he did and then get up and wink, I don't think that's in the spirit of the game. Straight after he got up, he winked at Dallas Johnson – facing us." [15] Hayne denied the accusations, saying "I don't engage in that shit, I just score tries and make people happy".

Parramatta announced Hayne had signed with the club for a $2M extension. On 15 September, he was officially announced as Rugby League's fastest man, after becoming the highest placed league player in the Gatorade Bolt, although other noted league speedsters such as David Mead, Michael Jennings, Brett Stewart and Kevin Gordon did not participate.

Hayne playing for Parramatta in 2009.

At the start of the 2009 NRL season, Hayne played at five-eighth with very limited success. Hayne was moved back to his preferred position of fullback just before the round 8 clash with the North Queensland Cowboys. His return to form at fullback prompted Dean Ritchie of Daily Telegraph to call Hayne "the most gifted Parramatta player since the great Brett Kenny."[16] Hayne's performances for Parramatta stepped up to another level as the 2009 season progressed. His influence on the game from fullback was lauded by many pundits as the Eels made a late season surge. From Round 19 to Round 24, he won six consecutive Man of the Match awards. He was described as "the best player in any code of football in Australia" by Phil Gould.[17] Hayne has won the Dally M Medals for Player of the Year and Fullback of the Year respectively. He became one of the youngest winners of the prestigious award and only the second fullback in history to be crowned Dally M Player of the Year. Hayne escaped a grade two charge after coming into contact with the head of Bryson Goodwin, sliding in with his knees to stop Goodwin in the act of scoring a try during the Preliminary Final against the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs. Hayne pleaded guilty to a grade one charge, however a grade two charge would have resulted in Hayne missing the 2009 NRL Grand Final.[18] Hayne ran 4,429 metres with the ball in 2009, more than any other player in the competition.[19] At the start of November 2009 while on tour with the Kangaroos, Hayne was left out as one of the six nominees for the Golden Boot Award (Best Rugby League Player in the World) despite him being the year's Dally M Medal winner, Dally M fullback of the year, NSW State of Origin player of the series, International Federation player of the year,[20] Parramatta player of the season and Rugby League Week player of the year in 2009. That award went to Melbourne Storm Greg Inglis.[21] He was named the Fiji Bati player of the year for 2009.[22] Jarryd Hayne's performance for the Parramatta Eels in the 2009 grand final against the Melbourne Storm was largely viewed in Australian and New Zealand media as disappointing. Journalist Josh Massoud, writing for The Daily Telegraph wrote, "For reasons only known to the god he recently discovered, Eels superstar Hayne failed to contest the ball." Prior to the game the media focused much on Hayne's match-up with the incumbent Australian, Queensland and Melbourne Storm fullback Billy Slater which was touted as "one of the most anticipated individual match-ups in Grand Final history". Phil Gould said " Hayne was just shut out of the game, his performance wasn't actually that bad".

Hayne's 2009 season has since been described as one of the greatest individual seasons in Australian rugby league history.[23]

2010s

For the 2010 ANZAC Test, Hayne was selected to play for Australia on the wing in their victory against New Zealand.

Being named as co-captain of Parramatta in 2013, Hayne has had an impressive season, particularly with regards to his goal line defence. This earned him a call up for New South Wales in the first game of the 2013 Origin Series at his preferred position of fullback after incumbent Brett Stewart was injured. Hayne scored the first try of the series for NSW and was instrumental once again in the victory.

In 2014 Hayne started the season with his most consistent display of rugby league, leading the Dally M medal rankings after 10 Rounds. He was selected for New South Wales in his favoured fullback position for Game One of the 2014 State of Origin series. He produced a man of the match performance, setting up one try and scoring one to deliver New South Wales a 12–8 win in Brisbane and a 1–0 series lead. During the annual 2014 players poll, where 100 players from the 16 clubs are interviewed, Hayne was voted as 'best in the game,' the first NSW player since Andrew Johns won the honour in 2006. In Round 22 of the season, playing against the Canberra Raiders, Hayne scored another 50m solo try to bring up his 100th career try. He became only the third player behind Luke Burt and Brett Kenny to score 100 tries for Parramatta. In Round 23 of the season Hayne topped his 2006 try scoring effort, reaching his 18th for the season against the Bulldogs. Hayne finished the season as the NRL's leading try-scorer with 20 for the season. On 29 September 2014, on the Dally M Awards night, Hayne and North Queensland Queensland Cowboys skipper Johnathan Thurston were the joint winners of the 2014 Dally M Player of the Year Award after the most thrilling countdown in the award's history.[24] For Hayne, it is his second Dally M Player of the Year award following his win in 2009 and also claimed the Fullback of the Year and Best Representative Player awards, respectively.[25]

Representative rugby league

Debut

Hayne made his representative rugby league debut for the Australian Prime Minister's XIII on 30 September 2006 against Papua New Guinea at Lloyd Robson Oval in Port Moresby. He would be the top try scorer in his team's 28–8 victory.[26] On 3 May 2007, Hayne was selected to make his debut on the wing for the City New South Wales team in the City vs Country Origin clash in Coffs Harbour. He impressed enough in his City debut to secure a place in the New South Wales state team for the 2007 State of Origin Game I on 23 May 2007 at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane. He would go on to represent New South Wales in each of the three state games in 2007, scoring two tries in the process. On 21 October 2007, Hayne made his international debut for Australia in the Trans-Tasman Test against New Zealand at Westpac Stadium in Wellington. He scored a solo try on debut in Australia's record 58–0 victory.[27]

New South Wales

After competing in each of the three State of Origin matches for New South Wales in 2007, Hayne was selected for NSW in two of the three games in 2008 and only missed Game II through suspension. In 2010, Hayne was named and played for the NSW Blues in all three losing matches in the 2010 State of Origin series against the Queensland Maroons.

In 2011, Hayne was controversially not named in the NSW Blues side for Game 1, which they lost. However, he returned to the side in Game Two, helping them win 18 – 8. He also played in the deciding Game 3, this time in the centres. To the surprise of many, Hayne's long kicking ability was utilised by the Blues, in an effort to stop the ensuing Queensland attack. Despite losing, Hayne made two line breaks, and scored one try. He also had the second highest run metres for NSW (156m) behind Paul Gallen (160m). He is likely to have played on the wing for Australia following the 2011 season, but was not selected due to injury.

Hayne was selected to play on the wing for New South Wales in all three games of the 2012 State of Origin series which was again won by Queensland. Hayne was moved to his preferred position of fullback for Game I of the 2013 State of Origin series and scored a try during New South Wales' 14–6 victory. A hamstring injury would rule Hayne out for the remainder of the series as New South Wales would again taste series defeat for the eighth straight year.

A determined Hayne returned to the fold for Game I of the 2014 State of Origin series and was selected a fullback for each of the three games. The Blues would finally secure a series victory in what would be Hayne's last State of Origin series before switching to American football.

2008 World Cup

Hayne playing for Fiji in 2008.

Despite having already represented Australia at the international level, Hayne was selected to play for his father's native Fiji in the 2008 Rugby League World Cup. On 1 November 2008 he made his debut for the Fiji Bati against France at WIN Stadium in Wollongong and scored two tries throughout the match. Fiji would top Group B and advance to the Semi-final qualifier against Ireland. Hayne would again be instrumental in Fiji's 30–14 victory over Ireland at Skilled Park on the Gold Coast. Fiji would go down to Australia in the semi-final at Sydney Football Stadium. Hayne later revealed he found God during his 2008 World Cup experience with Fiji and believed his participation helped him become the best rugby league player in the world in 2009.[28][29]

All Star selection

Hayne was voted by the public to play fullback for the NRL All Stars team in the inaugural 2010 All Stars match at Skilled Park on the Gold Coast. He was again voted as the starting fullback for the NRL All Stars team in the 2013 All Stars match at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane and scored the lone try for the NRL All Stars.

2013 World Cup

Hayne was named at centre by Australian coach Tim Sheens for the Kangaroos' 2013 Rugby League World Cup campaign in the United Kingdom. He scored two tries against Ireland before becoming the sixth Australian to score four tries in a world cup match when he crossed the line four times against the United States in Australia's 62–0 win. Only a week later Hayne scored three tries and set up two in Australia's 64–0 win over Fiji to make himself the competition's lead try scorer. Hayne continued his freakish run of form in the Grand Final match against New Zealand, after almost being knocked unconscious inside the game's first five minutes. He went on to produce two remarkable try assists for winger Brett Morris as Australia were crowned 2013 world champions. He was named Australia's joint players-player alongside Johnathan Thurston. Hayne's world cup campaign was hailed as freakish by fellow Kangaroos teammates, Brett Morris declaring that "If there was a Harlem Globetrotters of rugby league, he'd be in it. To play outside him for the last couple of weeks is something I'll remember."[30] By the end of the tournament Hayne was the equal top try scorer with teammate Brett Morris.

Hayne Plane celebration

During his rugby league career, Hayne was known for his post-try celebration nicknamed the 'Hayne Plane'.[31] After scoring a try he would extend both arms to the side and replicate the wings of a plane, the picture to the right shows the 'Hayne Plane' in action.

Change of sport

In 2009, it was reported that the new Greater Western Sydney franchise in the Australian Football League had offered Hayne a contract worth $1.5 million a season to quit rugby league and take up Australian rules football.[32] On 17 December 2009, Hayne announced he would remain in the National Rugby League by re-signing with Parramatta for a further four years. The deal was reportedly worth $500,000 a season.[33] Greater Western Sydney Giants CEO Dave Matthews later confirmed the franchise did approach Hayne about a code switch in 2009.[34] He was also reportedly chased by several rugby union teams at the time.

In 2011, at 23 years of age, Hayne intended to quit rugby league to pursue his dream of playing in the National Football League via the American collegiate system. Failure to complete 12th grade and receive his High School Certificate (HSC) meant Hayne was ineligible to play College football in the United States.[35] In 2013, he organised two American football training sessions with college team UTS between the 2013 NRL season and the 2013 Rugby League World Cup. He also requested for Gridiron Australia to organise an open trial with an NFL franchise but his commitments to the Australian national rugby league team during the 2013 Rugby League World Cup prohibited him from attempting the sport switch at that time.[36] In June 2014, NFL star and future 49ers teammate Reggie Bush viewed Hayne's rugby league highlights tape and commented "He actually looks like an NFL running back. Looks like he could come play with us tomorrow."[37] On 15 October 2014, Hayne announced during a press conference that he would be departing rugby league in pursuit of a career in the NFL.[38] Prior to his announcement, Hayne was reportedly in negotiations with Parramatta to sign a new five-year contract worth $1.35 million a season, which would equate to more than 20% of the NRL's 2015 salary cap of $6.55 million,[39] which would be the largest playing contract ever offered to an NRL player.[40]

NFL career

On 3 March 2015, the San Francisco 49ers announced they had signed undrafted free agent Hayne to a three-year contract with a base salary of US$1,575,000 over duration of the contract and a US$115,000 guarantee should he not make 53-man roster in his first preseason.[41][42] Hayne impressed several veteran Niners during the team's off season workouts in Phoenix in early 2015. Then starting quarterback Colin Kaepernick called him "a phenomenal athlete", adding, "It doesn't seem like there's much of a learning curve for him." Reggie Bush predicted that Hayne would likely make the Niners' 53-man roster.[43] He was expected to compete for the running back, kick returner, and other special teams positions.[44]

2015 season

On 15 August 2015, Hayne made his pre-season debut against the Houston Texans, completing a 53-yard run with his second touch of the ball.[45] He finished the game with 5 rushes for 63 yards (avg 12.6), 2 punt returns for 24 yards (avg 12.0) and 1 kick return for 33 yards.

In Hayne's second pre-season game against the Dallas Cowboys, Hayne impressed again, finishing as the game's leading rusher with 54 yards on eight carries. Again, in one of Hayne's first touches of the game, he pulled off a huge play, this time off a punt return, catching the ball over his shoulders and running for a 27-yard gain. Hayne also impressed at running back, bursting through a hole and broke free down the left sideline for a gain of 34 yards.

On 5 September 2015, Hayne made the 53-man final roster by surviving the last day of cuts before the start of the regular season, capping a swift transition to his new sport.[46][47] On 14 September 2015, Hayne made his NFL debut for the 49ers against the Minnesota Vikings at Levi's Stadium in Week 1 of the 2015 NFL season. He recorded 20 yards from scrimmage in San Francisco's 20–3 victory over the Vikings.[48] However, Hayne also muffed his first attempt at a punt reception in front of the U.S. television audience on Monday Night Football.[49][50]

On 31 October 2015, he was waived by the 49ers.[51][52] On 2 November 2015, Hayne announced via Twitter that he had signed with the 49ers practice squad.[53]

On 26 December 2015, the 49ers promoted Hayne to the 53-man roster after placing guard Alex Boone on their injured reserve list.[54]

Personal life

Hayne is a devout Christian,[56][57] becoming a member of the Hillsong Church in 2008 partly inspired by his Fijian teammates at the 2008 Rugby League World Cup.[58][59] Hayne is a supporter of Liverpool F.C. of the English football Premier League,[60][61] and considers Steven Gerrard as one of his sporting heroes.[62][63] Hayne is friends with footballers Brett Emerton and Tim Cahill.[64]
