Deuce: Will Jarryd Hayne Make The 49ers?
By: Deuce Mason
Will Jarryd Hayne make the 49ers 53-man roster? The answer is: Absolutely.
49ers head coach Jim Tomsula on Tuesday denied that he's made a decision on Hayne, but I'm not buying it.
Hell, they're selling his jersey in the 49ers team store at Levi's Stadium!
The #49ers made 1st cuts today and Jarryd Hayne was not among them. His jersey is now on sale @LevisStadium. Hmmm. pic.twitter.com/o3AuBFe2a5

Hayne is an intriguing prospect and I absolutely love what I've seen from him in the preseason. I know the 49ers think Reggie Bush can return punts but I think Hayne could be a more reliable option.
Matt Barrows from the Sacramento Bee last week told us he believes Hayne will be on the 53 man roster.
He says a team would scoop him up if the Niners waived him. "They've seen a guy a guy who's extremely explosive, and at the bare minimum can be a really good punt returner for you in 2015," Barrows said.
"He's shown nice skills as a receiver in the backfield. He obviously has speed, and he can be a third-down back...It's just too risky to release Jarryd Hayne at all this year, and I think he makes the 53-man roster."
