Hayne had meetings with the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers earlier in the week.

The Lions, Seahawks and 49ers are all viewed as great fits for the rugby league convert as they are teams that like to experiment, unlike other NFL franchises that have a more traditional approach to recruiting.

The Lions signed Rugby union and US track star Carlin Isles last season and Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll was one of the great innovators of college football during his time with the University of southern California and continued that when he moved to Seattle in 2010.

US website National Football Post, which first reported Hayne’s visit to Seattle and San Francisco, citing an NFL source, also broke the news Hayne was in Detroit.

Former USC and current Lions running back Reggie Bush was full of praise for Hayne during an Australian promotional tour last year.

“He’s quick, he’s elusive, he’s powerful, he’s fast, he has great vision and those are all the things you need to play running back in the NFL,” Bush said at the time.

The 26-year-old 189cm tall, 100kg Hayne has said he would like to play as a punt returner and wide receiver, but NFL scouts and veterans who have seen his show reels on YouTube say a team could identify him as either an offensive or defensive player.

Former Parramatta star Hayne could play an offensive position like running back, wide receiver or punt returner or as a defensive wrecking ball as an outside linebacker, scouts said.

Hayne, who made the shock decision in October he was quitting the NRL, has signed US agent Jack Bechta to represent him.
