It may not be huge news here in the states, but it is drawing huge attention in Australia. Jarryd Hayne, officially listed as a running back and kick returner with the San Francisco 49ers, is getting more attention at the team's three-day minicamp than any other player.
Matt Barrows of the Sacramento Bee posted a photo of Hayne being surrounded by media, mostly from Australia, in Santa Clara.
Hayne left a very successful career as a rugby star in Australia to play in the NFL. His team selection can be compared to a Lebron James type decision -- with the difference that James did not leave the NBA for soccer overseas.
He trained with his new quarterback, Colin Kaepernick, during the offseason.
Below is the photo of the media surrounding Hayne.

San Francisco looked to bring Fangio back when Kyle Shanahan became the head coach in 2017, but Fangio couldn't get out of his contract with the Bears.

While there isn't normally much to take away from the first day of drills, here are three encouraging reports from Friday's start to rookie minicamp.
1. Danny Gray impresses
Gray, a third-round selection in last month's NFL Draft, was reportedly the best player at minicamp, and it wasn't close.
Gray showcased his speed on a number of occasions in 7-on-7s, including a near 50-yard touchdown catch when he got behind fellow rookie Tariq Castro-Fields in coverage for the score.
While Gray had a dropped pass, which was
