49ers among scouts attending workout for NRL stars Jason Taumalolo, Valentine Holmes

Prior to the 2015 season, the San Francisco 49ers brought in NRL star Jarryd Hayne in hopes of turning him into an NFL player. That did not work out as Hayne has returned to NRL, but that is not stopping the 49ers and other teams from trying to find more raw talent from down under. The 49ers are one of 16 teams with representatives on hand for a workout of NRL stars Jason Taumalolo and Valentine Holmes. Other teams include the New York Jets, Carolina Panthers, Philadelphia Eagles, Seattle Seahawks, and Arizona Cardinals.

Taumalolo (23 yo) and Holmes (21 yo) are under contract in the NFL through 2017, so it would appear they are not leaving quite yet.
