He met with Reggie Bush this year. And this week, former Australian rugby star Jarryd Hayne met with the Detroit Lions, too, according to ESPN Insider Field Yates.

Hayne quit rugby earlier this year to prepare for a transition to the NFL. At 6-foot-2, the 26-year-old Hayne would likely be a running back and kick returner, based on the skills that would transition from rugby.

National Football Post reported that Hayne also met with Seattle and San Francisco recently.

This wouldn't be Detroit general manager Martin Mayhew's first foray into the rugby world to search for potential talent. Last December, the Lions brought in and signed United States rugby player Carlin Isles, who was specifically known for his speed, to their practice squad.

Isles ended up signing a futures contract with the Lions following last season but eventually ditched the contract to return to rugby.

Guys, watch the personal insults.

I thought they met with Hayne some time ago. Maybe I was reading an article about him being on their radar

They met with Hayne before the season. He's reaching back out.

I watch a lot of Rugby, big time All Blacks fan, and I'm telling you guys now, Jarryd Hayne is a guy who will be an impact player for someone. He's a damned beast. I would be thrilled with a signing.

If the Lions don't sign this guy, we're a few years from watching this guy hurt our feelings.

Looks like you're gonna get your wish, Ink.

I'm in on any unknown at this point. Who knows, maybe he becomes Mel Gray 2.0.

Let's hope.

I'll settle for Eddie Drummond or Desmond Howard.

First think to teach him 1.) Run straight.

Second thing 2.) Show him some Ross film of what not to do.

The one nice thing I can say about Ross.....guy has crazy glue on his hands on punt returns. He is fantastic catching the ball. Always right under it.....never seems to misjudge it.

After that point.....he is junk.

And he is a terrible WR.

Too bad there aren't enough roster spots for a fair catch er.
