McFadden may drop in draft

[joseephuss]

ESPN radio reported that McFadden was in hand cuffs this morning after an altercation at a bar. Some fight or something. Apparently he has been in trouble for this kind of thing before. I didn't know that. It could effect his draft stock.

Sounds like wishful thinking

it effected Randy Moss; I hope not though: I don't want The Cheaters to pick him up.

Sounds like wishful thinking

I don't know if I would want to draft him if he is a trouble maker. He is talented though.

Just when we thought the Patriots pick wasn't within striking distance...

Not much to worry about. http://msn.foxsports.com/cfb/story/7659740?MSNHPHMA


LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - Heisman Trophy runner-up Darren McFadden was handcuffed by police and then released without charges after being involved in a "pretty rowdy scene" at a piano bar early Thursday.
Arkansas' All-American running back and at least four others were at the downtown bar when a disturbance broke out shortly after midnight, police Lt. Terry Hastings said. A bouncer was hit in the face as he was trying to get the group to leave, Hastings said. A police report did not specify who hit the bouncer.

"There was a whole bunch of people there," Hastings said. "They were inside and it spilled out into the street."

Outside, McFadden was handcuffed by a police officer "because he was agitated and was provoking aggressive behavior inciting the incident," according to the police report.

"We handcuffed him for a few minutes because he was rowdy," Hastings said.

McFadden, who was the only person handcuffed, was released after he calmed down. Hastings said it was routine procedure to handcuff a person to gain control of a situation.

McFadden's mother, Mini Muhammad, said her son was trying to protect his younger brother, Daryl.

"He wasn't the one that was fighting. It was his little brother — someone had jumped on him," Muhammad said. "He was agitated because his brother had a bloody nose."

"Darren was not fighting — please make that be known," she added.

Hastings said bar employee Brant Hankins was advised that he could pursue charges against the person who hit him. The police report classified the incident as misdemeanor battery.

In the summer of 2006 in a fight outside another Little Rock club, McFadden severely injured his toe, but recovered in time to play in the Razorbacks' season opener.

McFadden, who also finished second in the 2006 Heisman voting, holds Arkansas' career and single-season rushing records. The junior has yet to decide whether he will forgo his senior year and enter the NFL draft.

McFadden was to be honored at the Little Rock Touchdown Club's annual banquet Thursday night.

Darren McFadden in Fight at Little Rock Bar

Razorback Darren McFadden was involved in a fight at a local bar and was placed in handcuffs. Around 12:15 Thursday morning, D-Mac got into an argument at a bar in downtown Little Rock.

The fight involved one of the bar bouncers. Authorities say that one of McFadden's relatives was being escorted out of Ernie Biggs when McFadden and the people he was with got involved in a fight with Brant Hankins, the bouncer.

The argument went into the streets of the Rivermarket where the Little Rock Police Department put D-Mac in handcuffs for "agitated and provoking aggressive behavior." Once he calmed down the handcuffs were removed.

So far, he has not been charged, but this could be a battery 3rd degree charge if Hankins presses charges.​

TB, this part got left out ......


There was no word yet whether or not Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo and girlfriend Jessica Simpson were at the bar during the disturbance.

McFadden better stay out of the club scene if he wants to be successful in today's NFL.

Gee, yeah, no NFL players in the club scene these days

 

[RomoIsBack]

jerry won't take him any way

 

[TVMan]

Not shocked at all.

He earned his spot in my sig for sure.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Any truth to the rumor that Jerry put the instigator up to this?

I think this definitely should drop McFadden about 20 spots.

I may be the only guy on this board who is not sold on McFadden. I have watched them a number of times this season and I am not sure he will be a big time back in the NFL. He runs strait up, doesn't seen to have much wiggle, and Felix Jones looks like just as good of back.

I could be eating my words when he wins rookie of the year honers next year but I was expecting to see more when I watched him than I got.

 

[marchetta]

Not shocked at all.

He earned his spot in my sig for sure.

Don't forget to make room for my 2nd favorite WR Adarius Bowman. He tested positive for drugs during his freshman year of college. He was suspended from the team, so he transfered to OSU and sat out a year. He hasn't been in any trouble since, but he does have a red flag against him.

 

[The Panch]

He runs strait up, doesn't seen to have much wiggle,

That's what I've seen from him as well. I dont know where they Adrian Peterson comparisons come from. At least he actually surveys his prey before he gashes em.

 

[Burgundy&Gold]

Is the feeling on here that Marion Barber is gone next season? Or is it that MBIII running style prevents him from being a number one back?

 

[Sasquatch]

A star athlete on the cusp of becoming a multi-millionaire in an bar altercation? Color me shocked.

McFadden Draft Status: Unchanged.

If getting into the occasional fisticuffs was a character issue half the college athletes in the country would have asterisks next to their names.
