FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- Darren McFadden isn't sticking around for another run at the Heisman Trophy.

The Arkansas All-American announced Monday he'll skip his senior season and enter the NFL draft.


"When I was growing up, I dreamed of playing for the Razorbacks,'' McFadden said. "Now, the time has come for me to pursue another dream of mine -- playing in the NFL.''

McFadden was the Heisman runner-up in 2006 and 2007, so his decision to turn pro wasn't surprising. He ran for 1,830 yards last season, second on the Southeastern Conference's single-season list. He is also second on the career list with 4,590 yards rushing.

Felix Jones, the Razorbacks' other talented tailback, said he'll also enter the draft a year early.

The boy should stay. This draft is pretty loaded.

Jones should have stayed. With McFadden gone, he'd have a chance to be the featured back and improve his draft status.
