Darren McFadden: I don’t think the world has seen the best of me
Posted by Josh Alper on April 3, 2015, 12:29 PM EDT
The Cowboys saw DeMarco Murray sign with their division rivals in Philadelphia last month and their only response to the move thus far has been to sign veteran Darren McFadden.
McFadden has run for more than 1,000 yards once in his seven-year NFL career and played in 16 games for the first time last season, although his 534 yards on 155 carries continued a three-year trend of dismal results moving the ball when he’s been in the lineup. McFadden is confident that he can get things moving in the other direction in Dallas, however.
“I just want to go out there and continue to show people what I can do,” McFadden said on NFL Network. “I still don’t think the world has seen the best of Darren McFadden.”
McFadden doesn’t expect to be the only option in the backfield once the season starts, saying that he thinks the Cowboys will add competition in the draft. McFadden believes that potential competition will “bring out” that missing best form when the Cowboys get to work later this year.
The Cowboys offensive line shouldn’t hurt either. Their skill up front and the threat of the Cowboys passing attack provide reasons to believe that McFadden should have the opportunities to show a better side of himself. If he can’t do it in Dallas, chances are going to be hard to come by in the future.
