"To watch Darren McFadden run with a football is like watching a man on fire running down a street in search of a swimming pool.

Don't think about getting in his way unless you want to get knocked down and burned.

In his fourth season, McFadden is playing like the star the Raiders anticipated when they made him the No. 4 overall pick of the 2008 draft.

He has matured into his body, and he's healthy. And now he's using a lethal combination of power, speed and determination that makes him a threat every time he touches the ball."
