The New England Patriots are bringing Arkansas running back Darren McFadden in for a pre-draft look, according to the Boston Globe.
The impact McFadden would have on an offense already consisting of Randy Moss, Tom Brady, Wes Welker and other role players … wow. That would be an impressive collection of talent.
It’s hard to picture the Arkansas star dropping to the seventh pick with his combination of size, speed and playmaking abilities that some have compared to last year’s rookie stud Adrian Peterson. And there’s also no guarantee they would take him, given the presence of Laurence Maroney and Kevin Faulk and the defection of several key defensive players this off-season.
But if the stars align and he ended up playing half his Sundays in Foxboro he’d give the Patriots a reasonable shot at eclipsing the scoring record they set in 2007.
That would be some offense. Wow.
