In the days were questions regarding Darren McFadden's character seems to be all over the media. Let's talk about an extremely selfless act that Darren McFadden has just participated.

Darren McFadden and Felix Jones both had nothing to prove by participating in the recent Razorback Pro Day workouts.  They did it for one reason and one reason only and that was to bring attention to other draft eligible Razorbacks.  There were over 50 NFL Scouts and officials at the camp to watch. 

Darren and Felix thanks a million......

I am not sure that this was a selfless act or not.  The Hogs have a pro day every year with just about the same number of scouts.  You are right that it can only help the others improve their stock.  What I thought was great about McFadden and Jones is that they did not have to participate but they did anyway.

I understand Arkansas has a pro day but the selfless act is that if McFadden and Jones does not attend there would not be in excess of 50+ NFL Scouts in attendance.  That is the primary reason McFadden and Jones attended is because they wanted attention brought to their fellow Razorbacks.

You are right that they probably would not have had 50+ in attendance but I think the selfless act was the fact the 2 stars participated in the event.  This could have hurt them in the draft.

The other post about fairchild makes one wonder what these kids are thinking.

That was truly selfless and truly an act of love for their fellow teammates!

These guys have multi-million dollar insurance policies on their ability to play the game, but that money does not replace the joy of becoming a professional football player, nor does it replace the ability that you have to give your teammates an opportunity to shine when they otherwise would not have been invited to any specific team's unofficial work outs.

Naysayers say what you want, but DMac and Felix shined in the combines, they had nothing to prove. Matter of fact, there was not a single person at the combines that could say that DMac was not the best athlete on the field because he WAS the best athlete on the field.

Kudos to DMac and Felix and long may your stars shine!

I'm done!

Has anyone heard anything about the situation with Mallet's eligibility this season. I doubt anything will come of it, but I figured something would have came out by now...

Well it will definitely hert the Hogs. You just don't go and replace 2 runningbacks like that unless you are U$C. Will have to see who steps it up a notch.

i would have helped if they both stayed one more year. no one in the country would be able to touch that tandem. they're were the best rb's in the nation. i think they would have been playing for the nat'l champoinship.
