Back in 2008, Dallas Cowboys running back Darren McFadden entered the NFL as one of the top running back prospects of his generation. He was a two-time Heisman Trophy runner-up, earned the Doak Walker award as the nation's top running backs in consecutive seasons and had just come off a 2007 campaign that saw him put up nearly 2,000 total yards for Arkansas.
For those of us who had the pleasure of watching McFadden with the Razorbacks, it really was a sight to behold.
So when the Oakland Raiders made him the fourth overall pick in the 2008 draft, no one was really surprised.
