Former NRL star and NFL player Jarryd Hayne is believed to have consumed a sandwich today as part of a meal, most probably lunch.
Follow our live blog on this developing story
Experts say it’s the clearest sign yet that Hayne will be playing NFL again next year.
“Every NFL player consumes food and this just shows Jarryd is continuing with the training habits he learnt at the 49ers,” said San Fransisco Chronicle reporter Chad Chase.
“Former Niners legend Jerry Rice often ate sandwiches and it’s something he and Jarryd share in common.”
Onlookers said the 49er consumed the sandwich through multiple ‘bites’ and used his tongue and teeth to chew the sandwich until it could be successfully swallowed. It’s believed he only fumbled the sandwich once.
“It was possibly a ham sandwich or maybe pastrami,” said Janet Smorsen, who was eating in the restaurant at the time.
“There was certainly mayonnaise involved, of this I’m sure.
“It was definitely on whole grain bread which makes me think he’s finally learnt the blocking schemes you need to play in an NFL offence.”
It’s believed Hayne also consumed some sort of ‘beverage’ as part the of his meal and paid using ‘money’.
Australian NFL expert Jeff Kellerman said in all his weeks of following NFL, this was the surest sign Hayne would make it in the NFL.
“This is just further proof Jarryd is one step closer to being the NFL MVP.”

Failed to mention there was 53 sandwiches available and he was only in contention for the last one. All the good sandwiches were snapped up by other 49ers players.

I want to know what he said to the waitress/waiter who bought the alleged sandwich to him. I hope he didn't compliment them, that's playing with fire.

In my day a man didn't eat a sandwich. He ate a small pig then a loaf of bread. No wonder he couldn't make the grade in a mans game.

This is mostly speculation Titus, and quite frankly beneath you. Until we know what sort of bread Jarryd used (white, multigrain, rye, panini), if he had butter, margarine or used a condiment as a spread, the type of meat in the sandwich - chicken and ham are staples of course but a choice of pastrami or corned beef could indicate a hesitant stance - we know very little. And if he had it cut in quarters instead of halves - he's not coming home.

Nice one. Mind you, from the perspective of a non-AFL-following person, substitute an AFL player's name for Hayne's and this is pretty much the Melbourne, Adelaide or Perth media.
