Hayne: Kelly's playbook would've taken too much time to master

When Jarryd Hayne finally made it to the United States to begin his pursuit of employment in the NFL, he was 27 years old with no real concept of the mental aspect of American football.

After one season in the NFL with the 49ers, appearing in eight regular-season games, Hayne found himself learning all over again this offseason when the 49ers hired Chip Kelly to replace Jim Tomsula.

"I just think with Chip's playbook, it's such an intense playbook that it would just take too much time," Hayne said this week via Fairfax Media.
