Was chatting to a mate in Chicago via Skype yesterday who loves his NFL (and has the accent to prove it). He was saying that even in Chicago people are talking about Hayne & how well he's done.
What else he was saying is that the 49ers are hopeless and that once their season is gone ie can't make the playoffs, Hayne will get ALOT more game time, in a few different roles. He reckons they see a lot in him and will give him that big experience in the NFL in games that don't mean as much. Happens a lot with 1st year rookies apparently
