We have often heard the criticism of trying to turn athletes into AFL players (and how it doesnt work) and in this case it appears the NFL have tried this experiment with Hayne.
He still might make it, but Kruddler makes some really fair criticism of Hayne and its geared around the above thought process.
The last time our footy club looked at this thought process would be Sam Jacobs vs Shaun Hampson.
One was a pudgy kid who could ruck, and the other was an athlete with good size that could be anything.
One has become a better athlete who can ruck and is regarded as one of the top ruckmen in the game without being the best, the other could still be anything but probably wont amount to much without some of the nuances really sinking in.
Odds are even if Hayne "makes it" he wont be elite, the 49ers are better off recruiting a pudgy running back with all the brains, and trying to get the athlete side of him sorted.
