Oakland Raiders’ RB #20 Darren McFadden

facebooktwitterreddit

The Oakland Raiders didn’t make an announcement on their website, but at the Raider Image website the headline is “McFadden Officially Chooses #20”.  To all those who will face to Raiders during the next decade, you better get used to seeing the back of this jersey, cause ya’ll gonna see a lot of it.  After nearly a decade of seeing LaDainian Tomlinson, Priest Holmes, Larry Johnson, and whomever is handed the ball in Denver in the rearview mirror, times are about to change.  Tomlinson can’t keep running this hard for much longer, can he?  It’s gonna be at least another season before the Chiefs O-line is strong enough to get LJ back on track.  And Mike Shanahan finally looks like he’s worn out his welcome in Denver, so don’t expect their run game, or team for that matter to be very good.  The new star running back in the AFC West is McFadden, and like the very talented RB’s above, he will dominate early, and often.
