McFadden Tops SI's Running Back Prospects
Bucky Brooks evaluates the top NFL draft prospects at running back for Sports Illustrated, with Arkansas' Darren McFadden leading the top 10 backs at No. 1. Razorbacks teammate Felix Jones is No. 4.
On McFadden, Brooks writes:
Some scouts consider Darren McFadden an ultra-talented, but unfinished product as a runner, even though he torched the SEC for three seasons. He has limited exposure to the passing game, and may not be a great fit in all offensive systems. Regardless, he is a top-tier talent who should be among the top players taken in the draft.
As for Jones, Brooks writes:
His combination of speed and quickness is scary, and his open-field running skills make him a threat to score from anywhere on the field. Although he hasn't shown the ability to be a feature back (only one game with 20 or more carries in his college career), Jones is the top complementary runner candidate in the draft.
