Australian superstar Jarryd Hayne sensationally quit his rugby league team on Wednesday in order to pursue a career in the NFL.
The Australian international, who won the National Rugby League's highest individual accolade -- The Dally M Medal -- for a second time just last month, has been given a conditional release by his club, the Parramatta Eels, in order to follow his NFL dream.

Hayne walked away from one of the highest paying rugby league contracts in the world. He visited the United States in September to look at the Seattle Seahawks' facilities on a study trip with the Eels.
