Jets Taking A Long Look At Arkansas RB Darren McFadden - GridironFans.com

With the sixth overall pick in the draft and arguably only one team picking in front of them that might take Arkansas tailback Darren McFadden, the New York Jets are doing extra homework on the two-time Heisman runner-up. Per Adam Schefter of NFL Network, the Jets went to Arkansas last month twice to eyeball McFadden, and then brought him to New York on Wednesday for another visit that extended into Thursday. Dan Leberfeld of Scout.com reports that Jets coach Eric Mangini had boxing analysts/team consultant Teddy Atlas give McFadden the once over, presumably due to character concerns that have hampered McFadden.
