All that talk about Darren McFadden's stock dropping?
Yeah, it might be time to reconsider that.
McFadden ran a stunning 4.27-second 40-yard dash today at the NFL Scouting Combine, tying Appalachian State wide receiver Dexter Jackson as the fastest player at the Combine, and showing even greater speed than anyone expected -- and everyone thought he had great straight-line speed.

DARREN McFADDEN IS FAST
Published 2/24/2008 by Mike Florio at ProFootballTalk.com
So much for Darren McFadden’s draft stock falling. Sure, there will be concerns about off-field issues and other such nonsense. But speed blurs not only the eye but also the mind. And given that McFadden ran the 40-yard dash in 4.27 seconds on Sunday at the Scouting Combine, he’ll be holding a jersey not very long into the draft-day proceedings in April. It’s an extremely impressive time, and it will only result in more comparisons to guys like Adrian Peterson and other speed-burning backs of the present and the past.

As Michael David Smith has already spelled out, Darren McFadden helped arrest any worries of a draft day decline with a blazing fast 4.33 official time in the 40-yard dash.

If OT Jake Long didn’t impress you yesterday, maybe RB Darren McFadden will. McFadden just ran a 4.27 forty-yard dash. This is right now his unofficial time, but it looks like McFadden didn’t hurt himself by running at the combine.

Towards the end of the season, there was talk that Dexter Jackson could be a roster causality.
