At Arkansas, McFadden had a decorated career, twice finishing as a finalist for the Heisman Trophy and as a member of the All-American team. He was highly-toted coming out of school, and was picked fourth overall by the Raiders. McFadden struggled with consistency through his career, only rushing for over 1,000 yards twice and never started all 16 games of a season. He retired mid-way through the 2017 NFL season, and was voted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2019.
