    While watching Path to the Draft with Mike Mayock, he pointed out that Darren McFadden has SERIOUS ball security problems, he has had 23 fumbles in 3 years, and seems to be way to overconfident in his abilities like when he puts the ball in the wrong hand which encourges a good amount of stripping of the football.

    Also, Darren McFadden lacks strong legs to power through tackles, and his legs seem to go dead when contact is there.

    Against LSU, when he broke past the defense he was almost chased down from behind by MLB Ali Highsmith who ran a 5.07 40 untill he got blocked down field. I dont know if it was Highsmith just turned the turbo on or McFadden wasnt going full speed or a combo of both.

    I can thanks to Malcolm Gladwell's book <u>Blink</u> give you a 1 word assessment on McFadden.... overrated.

    If it weren't for that goofy Wildcat formation that Arkansas overused then D Mac would be just another RB.

    Felix Jones will be a much better pro.

    Rashard Mendenhall impressed the hell out of me this year. I'll be interested to see where he lands.

    I thought the only knock on him is that he's got 2 kids?
