I know I would certainly take him early. But trying for a more objective view of things, not colored with Hog red glasses, I think the fumbles and impatience to let blocks get set up, the tendency to just try to headbutt himself through tacklers, might have some people looking at McFadden as more of a risk than what we see him as being. Plus, the lack of anything big in the bowl game couldn’t have helped him. Too bad the LSU game isn’t the last memory people have of McFadden in a Hog uniform. Still, he’ll be a millionaire before it is all said and done. I just hope he can handle that sudden change in fortune and keeps a good head about himself.

Darren, if you are reading this, here is what I hope happens: Stay out of trouble, have a good career in the pros, invest your money well, and come back to Arkansas where you can have just about any job (if you want one) that you so desire. Then have a few little running backs of your own for a future SEC Championship Razorback team!
