D. Mc can RUN!

Sunday afternoon featured a plethora of gifted athletes running several drills with the ultimate goal of impressing an NFL scout. Players from all over the country came to Indianapolis to participate in the NFL Combine.

The Combine has had a ton of ups and downs are far as performances go, but one young man has stood out in the face of criticism and silenced his critics.

Darren McFadden, thought by many, including myself, to be the best athlete in the upcoming NFL Draft, went out and put on a hell of a show.

He ran a 4.33 in the 40 yard dash, the second fastest time of any other back. He was bombarded with questions about his past and the questionable decisions he has made. They didn’t faze him.

McFadden claimed at the event that all of his past misjudgments were just that, the past. He is looking for a fresh new start with his professional football career.

Darren has been under a microscope for the past few months and has become the cause for some of the most random assessments from the media I have ever seen. Some analysts predict McFadden will be the first running back taken while some believe he will be the third. Some believe he will be taken in the top five while some believe he will drop out of the top fifteen.

It should be very interesting to see exactly where the talented young ex-Razorback ends up.

I'll tell you one thing, wherever he does go, that city will have a fabulous talent on their team.
