Could Origin superstars Jarryd Hayne or Greg Inglis make it in the NFL?

NRL.com compared video footage of the two stars with NFL Super Bowl-winning running back Reggie Bush and analysed the data using Prozone stats.

Bush, Inglis and Hayne have wowed their respective fans with their attacking potency and delivered a lifetime of memories; now they have been compared in video to determine how similar NRL and NFL stars really are once they step onto the field of play.
