McFadden was an absolute machine while he was in college and was one of the best college running backs in the history of the sport, not only the SEC.

In each of his three seasons in Fayetteville, McFadden ran for over 1000 yards and 10 touchdowns.

As a freshman, McFadden averaged 6.3 yards per carry and scored 11 times on the ground, but that was only the beginning.

His dominance continued as he aged. In his second season, McFadden ran for 1647 yards and 14 touchdowns and improved in both categories in his final season.

In total, McFadden ran for 4590 yards and 41 rushing touchdowns. His career rushing yards ranks second in SEC history behind the guy in the number one spot in this countdown.

McFadden was an NFL bust, but absolutely tore up the fields in college on his way to fame in the SEC.
