“A guy with his size shouldn’t be able to run like he does and have the hits he does. He can hurt running the football. He can hurt you throwing the football. The scariest thing about him is that his numbers aren’t as good as they could be because there is another guy sharing the carries by the name of Felix Jones. Darren McFadden is unbelievable.”
