Former Raiders RB Darren McFadden feels like rookie again

Coming into his rookie year with the Oakland Raiders back in 2008, Darren McFadden was supposed to take the league by storm after going No. 4 overall in the NFL Draft.

McFadden was a two-time Heisman runner-up at the University of Arkansas where he rushed for 1,830 yards his senior year, ran in 16 touchdowns, caught a touchdown, and even threw four touchdowns. Add a 4.33 40-yard dash at the NFL combine and the hype already seemed earned.

Then, McFadden only played out one full season in Oakland, which happened to be his last as a Raider in 2014.
