The Derrick Rose of the NFL.
CodeinCaptain its sad dude was a beast made alotta nothing into something
I wish he would have gotten drafted by anybody other than the shitty fucking Raiders.
Hahahahhahahah hell yeah you right
Darren mcfragile is definitely not the drose of the nfl... this guy was a straight up bust
He's not a bust, when the whole team of Oakland is a bust. Every running back Oakland has had is a bust because they can't block for the guys they have.
He was SO good. It was a thing of beauty to watch him run; he hit the gaps so fast, could change direction without losing much acceleration, great footwork and vision, and would straight up smash LB's and secondary when needed. Some folks like to complain and knock him for injuries, those aren't his fault; it just happens that way sometimes. Regardless of his career stats he was one of the sweetest RB's the game has ever seen.
Those raider teams had no defense, but man that Hugh Jackson running scheme was amazing. McFadden and and Bush were a killer tandem.
is anyone watching in 2020?? he's the reason i loved football. the reason i wore #20. my dad was a die hard raider fan and made me watch arkansas football when i was little. so when dmac got drafted he became my favorite player of all time #dmac
my alltime favorite back/razorback
He'll always be a Raider. Dude was nice...
Wish he could have stayed healthy
Damn, I love the way he runs. If you look at tape, and not his stats, I'd say he's a top-5 back.
He definitely had an unorthodox run style. Mostly bc of his body type. He had such broad shoulders, but also had em longer legs that made him difficult to catch once he got to striding. Also prob why he was often injured too tho. Running straight up and down like he did leaves ya open to all kinds of punishment when breaking through gaps. He was a beast tho and actually had a long successful career. Top 5 tho? Meh idk about that. I’d say there’s 5 better RBs currently in the league now. Cook, Taylor, Mccaffrey, Henry, Kamara, to name just a few
@@tjanderson5892 this comment was 7 years ago. When he said top 5, I believe he was referring to the then current time in the league.
With that said, none of those guy you named are ahead of McFadden in my opinion. Only Henry.
I forgot how elusive Darren was. Damn I miss him!
For Raiders fans he was the highlight of the decade. Made watching the games so much more exciting, pity he had the injury issues would have been a beast for longer.
For real those years were rough Tom cables teams had potential but yeah McFadden was one of the best reasons to watch
Like many people, the Raiders taught me young that life is cruel and unfair. I'm not even a Raiders fan but a Razorback fan from a crazy Razorback family who started watching football the year Darren finished behind Troy Smith in Heisman voting. We knew what he was capable of in the pros but during his time with the Raiders the o-line was never able to help him stay healthy or play up to his potential.
Biggest what-if of the 2003-2015 Raiders dark ages, in my opinion, is a healthy Darren McFadden. Before the lisfranc injuries he was on the way to becoming the best RB in football. Go watch the tape of the 59-14 Broncos drubbing, or the 3 TD game against Jacksonville. He was special. Injuries ruined everything.
Man he was such naturally gifted runner. Such a rare blend of speed and power.
Yeah those constant injuries unfortunately took a toll on him, which why the Raiders had to get rid of him.
I never really realized how fast he was until now. Arguably one of the Top 3 fastest RBs in the NFL. This will be his breakout year, I'm excited.
4.27 at the combine
@Baby Nagger He rushed for over 1K yards so I'd say it was a solid season. His career appeared to be going downhill until he joined Dallas.
Look at the offensive lineman being headlocked at 1:02
*defensive
Such a beautiful runner, really wish he hadn’t been so injury plagued and our line was better at the time.
my FAVORITE player in the decade plus of raider futility. i know people see him as a dissapointment due to his injuries but he has such a gpod heart and is a great person and gave his all on every play. For a couple years he WAS the raider offense. And i must say i hate the cowboys but im rooting for this man and hes bpund for sone gpod luck and hes still young. Hes gonna kill it this year i can tell already. When hes healthy he is such a beast. Big, fast, strong legs, good hands, explosive instincts and hes SMART he always find the opening and he's so much fun to watch.
Just HOLD THE BALL! The line outta help gain yards but please just hold that ball. Murray had me on edge every time he touched the pig. What good is thousands of yards if you're only gonna give it up at crucial points of a game. I like how this guy holds on to the rock while running. Let's hope for a good season #DC4L
Damn guess im the first one here for mcfaddens retirement. Always a raider for life dawg
Guess you are
Possibly the most underrated running backs in the NFL.
What Cowboys fan can't be excited to see what this man can do this year. Always been a fan of McFadden a bit injury prone unfortunately but he is fun to watch #WeDemBoyz
Wow!.....this footage was pretty impressive.
What makes this even more Impressive is that he had Demarcus Russell as his QB. Defenses could stack the box.
D dawg!!! Much love from arkansas
Man i still remember when i was 10 an went to the 50 year anniversary of the raiders and he signed my raiders cup. Will never forever that. will be one of my top favorite players to me.
Most people don't realize how much talent this man has' Absolute beast
Ok watching these games, I just imagine him behind our o line here in Dallas. You just see the play break down real quick, and he gets through now imaginable the Dallas wall, home run baby ! DMC 2015!
I will never forget the game he had against Denver.
for me it was the game against the New York Jets..... to me his running was amazing that game!
He had a nice running style. Dangerous combination of speed and power
Awesome video bro, subbed
The dude gets to full speed in 3 steps. His acceleration is eye opening. Hopefully he can stay healthy in Dallas.
u really nailed the timing of the beat
Cowboys fan, was great to have him.
bruh i remember that play at 6:44 that run was amazing. spin move coming out of the hole, side steps the corner, and gives a savage stickarm to the face of the safety on his way to a touchdown. that's some real life madden gameplay ish.
Welcome to Dallas McFadden! Time to show the world what your all about!!!!!!
I've always liked this guy he runs like no one else, I'm not a Cowboys fan but I hope he is successful there.
That Cowboys O-line is about to revive his career
McFadden was the truth man,this is why? he still a favorite of mine even though he went to play for the cowboys.
This dude is gonna be a beast behind our o-line in dallas!
the dude is so elusive, almost never see a good hit on him. he'll be dancing to the endzone behind dallas' o line
Right? People are freaking over Dallas not having Murray, but when you have an O-Line like THAT....Any back can succeed there.
I don't think any back and it'll be tough shoes to fill, but McFadden ain't finished
AJ Stanton I don't know, that line seems like the best in the league in my opinion. Take it from me, as a DE, Dallas' O-Line can make anyone good, even a slow back, or hell, even a fullback. They play with some swagger man.
They are the best in the league bar none ha
AJ Stanton Oh yeah. That Tryon Smith guy is a beast dude.
That man was a beast 💪
You had a good career bro...Raider Nation for life!
Its just too bad he couldn't stay healthy. If the Raiders would've got five seasons like his 2010 season he would've lived up his draft status. That 2010 season he balled out, but some just aren't lucky to stay injury free, especially when you run hard like DMC. I think that was the problem....he ran harder than his body could take. Needed to be more like Marcus Allen....slithery.....don't take as big a hits. But he went head up with everyone. thats why DMC always have Raider love.
Basically what your trying to say is that he needs to be more elusive, I agree.
He didnt stay healthy, because the raiders , is where careers go to die. As far as being more elusive, that wasnt his game. He wouldnt have been the same back. 6'2 225, 4.32 40. If he couldnt outrun you, he ran you over. I had tge pleasure of watching him, Peyton Hillis, and Felix Jones for 3 seasons at Arkansas, and I would say, you could put them in the top 5 backfields in NCAA history. Unfortunately, they didnt win as much as thier talent shouldve gotten, because we had a coach didnt really know what a vertical passing hame was.
@@derrickennemer5050 Man stfu i can't stand you Raider Hater's Al Davis was old at the time.
He is my favorite running back, he was a mean one for sure
I love the way he runs. One of
the most underrated backs in the league. I hope he stays healthy and I can't wait to see what he does for Dallas this year.
Run DMC in the Big D. I'm excited as hell about him behind our O-Line. Ready for the season to start!
Always been a big McFadden fan. Whenever I watch him he hits the holes well, doesn't shy from contact, and runs hard. His pass catching ability is severely underrated I think as well. A lot of people are overlooking him and writing him off, but I think he is going to shock some people. Dallas shouldn't use their first rounder on an RB even though it is Gurley or Gordon. They need inside help bad. This RB class is so deep anyway they can grab a guy in the 3-4 round range if they need. I predict McFadden with a 1000+ yard season and 400+ receiving. This is, of course, if the Cowboys can keep him healthy. I don't like the Cowboys but I'll be rooting for him. Go Pats.
i miss him. we need him back
Good luck DMAC. It'l feel weird in Oakland without you. His first 4 years he was probably only 2nd to Adrian Peterson as far as the most physically gifted back in the league. After so many injuries, he's not the same athlete he used to be, but behind Dallas he should be pretty damn good.
Underrated
Damn I loved Darren McFadden. I wish injuries weren’t real... and if only the team was in a position to do great things. He was the truth.
mcfadden is going to be the best behind our o-line
One thing that will really help DMC in Dallas is the fact that the corners and safeties will not be able to get off of the receivers so quick to come back and make the tackle because of the passing threat of the Cowboys. Seems like he can get to the second level pretty well and is good at punching it in at the goal line. He has never been a part of a team with a good QB and passing game, so if he stays healthy he will contribute. We used to say the exact same thing about Murray's health every year until 2014.
True warrior
It just damned on me, Raiders have a long history of picking great running backs. Bo Jackson, Marcus Allen, Charlie Gardner, Napolean Kaufman, Tyrone Wheatley, Darren McFadden.
Josh Jacob’s
Darren McFadden + Dallas O-Line = Perfection #WeDemBoyz
Darren McFadden running style reminds me of the great Eric Dickerson. A tall long stride with explosive speed behind it. DMC welcome to Cowboy Nation
D fadden is a complete beast
Welcome to Dallas Darren. As a Dallas fan I just need you to do you and ignore all these haters. I don't care about your past, and your injury history. Right now, lets focus on the present, and try to go out there and produce numbers. You don't need to get 1,800 yards like Demarco, all you gotta do is go out there and try your best and do what you can to help your new team. Us Cowboys fan have fate in you.
#WeDemBoyz
Dijon Joseph u said that as if he is going to read it. :/
I swear i didn't realize he was dis good...
Amazing runner to watch, long strides, fast, elusive. This man is one of the reasons the raiders weren't "the browns" of the NFL for a long time. However, if you notice every play in his highlights he has a wide open hole or no contact at line of scrimmage. He had great speed and elusiveness in the open field but if someone got a hand on him behind the LOS then he wasn't very good.
Anyone else realize that he went to oak grove highschool in Arkansas and then went on to play for Oakland
Not a Dallas fan at all, but this guy will produce numbers. Of course he didn't get to play to his full potential because he's been on a rebuilding team for his whole career so far
Still didn't do much. He was soooo good, but man, his legs failed him.
@@jackiechan6460 yea those chicken legs just couldn’t hold up his giant frame with the way he runs plus getting tackled by 300lb professional athletes. It’s amazing those toothpicks didn’t snap in half just from him running 100mph like a beastly freak of nature that he was,, even without any contact
Everyone keeps dogging in this dude for being old and maybe there's some merrit to it but he was producing runs in Oakland. Imagine what he does behind dallas' o-line. We didn't draft a rb, which means or FO has faith in our guys we have now. Between DMC, randle, Dunbar and even Ryan Williams, I bet we do just fine. Here's to a break out season by McFadden in 2015!
Always wished the best for DMC, unfortunately he's with the Cowboys but even that I still wish him well. As an Eagles fan I look extremely forward to playing the Cowboys this season. GO Eagles!
I played football with his son diesel last year now he is on the varsity team at Taft high school as a freshman
His cuts look like I'm playing madden lol
He knows how to get on the outside and has explosiveness.. 2 things Murray lacked. Murray a great RB in his own way though.
the GLASS MAN
I doubt you could carry the ball 25 to 30 times a game 3 years in college and then do a tenth of what he did in the pros oline was trash
i feel for Run DMC he had all the tools to become the best rb in the nfl he almost single handly took us to the playoffs.
My favorite Dmac run at 6:45
I'm a raiders fan but we ruined him but he made us look good without a line the crazy thing is he's only 27 and is 6'2 220 and runs a 4.3 we really had no line last year every running back we had couldn't go through our sorry line
He was used well under hue jackson
You chose the right song for him
Welcome to Dallas, Darren!!!
The funny thing is every thing people are saying about him and injuries, we were saying the same thing about Demarco Murray. Upright running style shiftiness. No wonder the Cowboys picked him up. He runs just like Demarco, but much faster and cheaper. Again, both backs have the same injury history.
If he remains healthy this year, I say he will eclipse the 1,000 yard behind Dallas' offensive line. For the ones that complaining about the music...mute it and play YOUR fav new "rap/hip-hop" jam...like Drake lol
Hope this pickup works out. I was a big fan of his coming out of college
I can't wait to see what DMC will do behind Dallas' O-line this year! This may have been an upgrade for Dallas getting rid of Murray. He does everything Murray did and he's faster, a better blocker (more experience) and pass receiver. He may be older but he's not really the long term RB for the Cowboys anyway. I'm feeling something special brewing again in Big D!!!
Gonna miss DMC goodluck in dallas
Who else went back and forth watching Murray and McFadden videos lol
with a good line like the cowboys have he should be able to rush for 1,000 and more...
He did, his last season there, when the traded Demarco Murry.
Damn, DMC's got so much untapped potential. Now with the Dallas O-line those small gain runs of this video should turn in to home-runs.
He gets banged up so much. He'd be incredible if he didn't get hurt so much. In a running back by committee system he'll dominate.
welcome to the stars
Injury prone. I'm a Raiders fan and I wasn't stoked at all when we drafted Run DMC. But I didn't knock him. I actually hope he does well in Dallas. We have our own bright star in Latavius Murray. But yeah, hopefully he stays healthy.
Welcome to Dallas McFadden. I can tell he has a lot to prove.
hes going to be deadly behind the cowboys O line!
Question, knowing McFadden is going to dallas, what jersey should I get? It really is hard to decide because I want a jersey I can wear for 4 years or more
Aaron Urrutia Zack Martin.
If he stays healthy he will have a beastly year he is great in space and Cowboys will get him in space a lot
He used to be a beast
Mcfadden is on my top 10 best running backs of all time. Like a cross between Bo Jackson and Jim Brown with the ability to pass or score every time he touched the ball!
As much as I love McFadden and will never forget him as a Raider, lately he's left a lot to be desired. I watched every Raiders game last year and realized that most of his explosiveness is gone. He's 27 (which is usually the year RBs start to decline) and he's been made of glass his whole career. Also his vision is not what it used to be. A lot of people who don't watch Raider's games will say "well his O-line with the Raiders sucked," but when u watched Rashad Jennings in 2013 and Latavius Murray in 2014 produce with the same line then you start to realize that a lot of the problem was McFadden not being effective RB. That being said he is very capable as a change of pace/ committee back as evidenced in games where he was effective when he split the carries. There's also no question regarding toughness, fearlessness, and attitude, but if the Dallas Cowboys want McFadden to produce then they should consider not trying to have him as Bellcow. As a RB2 he will always have the potential to take over a game if he's feeling it every now and then considering the dominant O-line that Dallas has, but don't always expect that. I think next season McFadden gets 650-800 yards rushing, but never threatens the 1000 yard mark. Good luck Run DMC! #RN4L
***** DMC is still a G 110%
Injuries caught up. A badass when healthy.
Being a Cowboy is what he has always wanted. CBF4L.
1:31 the position JaMarcus should have played all along. Good block!
when Healthy McFadden was a Force! once a Raider , Always a Raider 💀
Runs hard
Can't believe how hard and fast he hits those holes and then accelerates into the secondary before db's even have a chance to make a play on him. Of course, these are highlights, so we're not going to see those negative plays. Hope he can stay healthy. With Dallas's OL, that should be doable. Randle has some competition.
if he brings 1/2 this to Dallas gonna be some good times
I miss Darren I have his jersey to wish he could just stay healthy
Demarco Murray had one good year if it wasnt for last season Demarco and Darren are legit the same in terms of being solid backs with chronic injury problems.. give this guy a healthy season with that Cowboys OL he's rushing for 1000 yards easily
With the Dallas O- line i can't wait to see how he performs because He is faster than Demarco and it's going to shut down all the Haters :)
LMAO 1:03 ......NO HOLDING THERE!!! :)
murray was an average rb before dallas got that monster o-line can't wait to see what mccfadden will become
