    I was player / coach security with the Raiders when McFadden was on the team. McFadden was always one the most respectful / polite guys on the team, GREAT GUY !!!

    As a lifelong Arkansas fan. One argument I always use when they compare him and Reggie Bush. I always ask who was Reggie Bush’s quarterback Matt Lienart. People outside of Arkansas fans couldn’t tell you who Darren McFaddens quarterback was. You game plan for him and they still couldn’t stop him. To me it was him and pretty much him and you still couldn’t stop him to me that’s more impressive than Reggie Bush.
    For what it’s worth the quarterbacks he played with were Robert Johnson. Mitch Mustain, and Casey Dick,

    • @bentonja668
      @bentonja668 Před 4 dny +3

      USC beat Arkansas 70-17 and 50-14 in back to back seasons (2005 and 2006). And Mustain played at USC after he left Arkansas.

    • @HogFanThor
      @HogFanThor Před 4 dny +6

      @@bentonja668look at what USC had and what Arkansas had no comparison in talent. Arkansas had D-MAC, Felix Jones, and Peyton Hillis that’s it. Look at what USC had. Also Mitch Mustain started 1 game at USC after he transferred there. And it was the last game his senior year.

    Have you done a video on Marcus Lattimore from South Carolina or Lamichael James from Oregon? Both running backs had a lot of upside but never panned out. I think they both went to the 49ers coming out of the draft as well, so there would be some crossover. Thanks for the great videos brother.

    Addiction is NO JOKE I was addicted to pills for 15 years and getting off them was the hardest thing I've ever did but I been clean for 3 years now and I'm so happy that I quit them and made it through. Everyone says just stop doing whatever you're addicted to it ain't that easy believe me. So congratulations to Darren McFadden for quitting alcohol. And he was one of my favorite players in college football and the NFL. He's a BEAST all the way around.

    Hello Matt! Great content stumbled onto your channel and started watching it but I've had a couple of recommendations but nothing yet! I'm going to just shoot in the dark and say do one on Cedric Cobbs who played for the razorbacks in college and I think he has a super bowl ring with the New England Patriots but don't think things are going too great for him. Once again thanks for the kind tent and if you ever get a chance remember, Jeff Driscoll Florida Gators but this may be my last time asking but I'll continue watching great content!

    Hey Matt! Can you do what happened to Daryll Clark video (former Penn State QB)? That would be a perfect video. The man went 22-4 as a starter and won a big ten championship. Played in the rose bowl. Finished in the top 10 both seasons, he was the starter. And he barely gets a mention among top PSU QBs. In fact, still run into fans who wish Devlin got more of a look.

There is a photo of him when he was with the Raiders of him running the ball the opposite direction(he ran to the side with the most traffic instead of the right side who which had the wide open lane.
    He also thought he was going to get the same treatment he did at Alabama when he got into the NFL,. He found that once you become pro, you have schedule everything you need done or want to do yourself
