Darren McFadden will come into his first game probably with more hype than any other rookie this year. But the question is can he have an Adrian Peterson like impact in his first season in the NFL? McFadden who was drafted 4th overall in this years NFL draft comes to the league with similar aspects. They both opted out of their final year of college and they were both the first running back selected in the draft. Although I must say based on their college game McFadden was better. But in the league I think Peterson will be more succesful. McFadden will be good but not like Peterson. Peterson went beyond expectations which were already high. McFadden will MAYBE reach his also high expectations. But his impact will just not be the same. Maybe in a couple years it will be McFadden who's on to pbut he will not have the same type of impact in his first season. He also comes to Oakland in a worse situation then Peterson a year ago in Minnesota so statistically McFadden will fail to reach expectations set by Peterson.

McFadden won't have the same impact as Peterson did in his first year. McFadden is expected to start and carry a big load. Peterson wasn't expected to be as involved in the game plan, even though it turned out that way.

McFadden will be sharing touches with another solid player. He won't even be given the OPPORTUNITY to have an AP style impact.
