49ers Jarryd Hayne's Rookie Season Profiled on 60 Minutes Australia

Jarryd Hayne made news last year when he transitioned from an Australian rugby league to the NFL. Considering the rare circumstances of his journey his story was covered by every major sports news outlet.

Earlier this week 60 Minutes Australia had a 20 minute video where it profiled his officially signing with the team. They went back to his hometown, talked about moving to the United States and his training with Jay Glazer.

Here's a video if you want to see the full story.
