Jarryd Hayne's US agent Jack Bechta has turned his focus on the NRL after the immediate success of Hayne, despite admitting his client was a one in 10,000 player. 
Bechta told Fairfax Media that he has had NRL agents and scouts reach out to him about potential players who could follow in Hayne's footsteps.
While Bechta recognised Hayne's desire to chase a lifelong dream would separate him from any other potential defectors, the NFL agent said it wouldn't stop him from coming over to Australia to have a look at NRL players next year. "I've had a few claiming to be scouts and agents reach out to me, willing to give me a list of potential guys who could make it over here," Bechta told Fairfax Media.
"Those types of emails and texts and tweets are coming in. At some point I am going to go over there and have a look for sure. I have actually been looking at quite a bit of rugby league lately. I just want to see how things go with Jarryd first before I do anything else.
"If things continue to go well, then it's definitely something I'm keen to explore. I have been peeking at some more rugby league than I have in the past. I'm paying more attention to who is playing. I'm also looking at rugby union and I'm going to the World Cup in London. But Jarryd is a one in 10,000 player."
Hayne has defied the odds in such a short time and appears to be on the brink of earning a spot on the San Francisco 49ers' final 53-man roster to be named on   September 5.
But there's an overwhelming sense in Australia that there would be several NRL players - Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, Greg Inglis and Michael Jennings just to name a few - that would flourish with the pads on.
However, Bechta insists it would be hard for any rugby league player to survive an NFL pre-season and show the mental toughness required if they didn't share the same passion and desire to play the sport that Hayne possesses. "The difference is that Jarryd has dreamt about this," Bechta said. "He has visualised it, thought about and sacrificed a lot to chase it. He's thought long and hard about it for years. You just can't endure what he's enduring if you didn't have his mentality. It takes a lot of mental toughness.
"The camps are tough. The sport is run a lot different here. There are a lot more rules. Jarryd visualises - he has a strong faith in God and confidence in himself that gets him through. He's a visionary. That's who he is. To just go get a rugby league or rugby athlete and have them transfer across to the NFL, there's more intangibles to it than that."
