Jarryd Hayne’s dream of making the San Francisco 49ers final 53-member squad for the NFL season has become a reality.

The former Fiji Bati rep has been a revelation in the past four pre-season games for the 49ers and is ranked a remarkable third in the NFL with 163 punt-return yards on nine attempts.

Hayne has gone from being a long shot in making the team to a player who has earned his way into the regular season with his ability on punt returns and vast improvement as a running back.
