Can the Las Vegas Raiders 2020 rookie class live up to their numbers?
#20: CB Damon Arnette – RB Darren McFadden
What do Raiders fans love more, physical defensive backs or versatile running backs? In the case of Darren McFadden, he was never dominant but had one special season in 2010 that he is most remembered for. In 2010, McFadden accounted for more than 1,600 all purpose yards and 10 touchdowns in just 13 games.
Through seven injury plagued seasons racked up 4,247 rushing yards and 25 touchdowns, good enough for 6th and 8th all-time respectively.
There was not much competition for the number and it will not take much for Damon Arnette to surpass McFadden in the hearts of Raider Nation. McFadden was known mostly for never living up to his potential or his draft selection at 4th overall due to injury so if Arnette can stay healthy and earn a second contract with the Raiders the number may belong to him forever.
The Ohio State defensive back comes in to Las Vegas with a chip on his shoulder as many pundits doubt his credentials as a high level CB at the NFL level but angry guys with something to prove is another Raiders specialty.
