NFL Notes: 49ers, Packers, Raiders, Rams, & Seahawks

49ers

49ers RB Jarryd Hayne said Friday that he’s committed to returning to the NFL next year, even though he’s seen limited action during his rookie season.

“Oh definitely. It’s been exciting,” Hayne said, viaย Matt Barrows of the Sacramento Bee. “To come this far in seven months, give me 12, 14 (and) it’s going to be completely different. And I think anyone who’s seen my growth will tell you how much I’ve changed and developed. And it’s always funny, looking at old film, it’s one of those awkward things … ‘What was I thinking? Or, ‘What was I doing?’ It’s hilarious.”
