FAYETTEVILLE, Ark., Jan. 14 (UPI) -- Arkansas junior running back Darren McFadden, a two-time runner-up in the Heisman Trophy voting, has made himself available for the NFL draft.
McFadden and fellow Razorbacks running back Felix Jones said at a news conference Monday that they were both passing up their senior seasons at Arkansas and entering the draft. Both are projected to be first-round selections, with McFadden likely going in the first five picks, when the NFL has its draft April 26-27.
