Scouting Report:

Strengths: Has everything you could look for in a franchise back. Size, speed, elusiveness, and great hands out of the back field. Good route runner and very capable as a wide-out reciever or in the slot. He is a phenomenal athlete with tremendous upper body strength for his size. Explodes the the hole and cannot be brought down be a mere arm tackle. Great stiff arm ability. Very capable at handling the snap in a wild cat type formation. Will be considered an elite running back as long as he can stay healthy.

Weaknesses: Only one thing stands in the way of McFadden being considered an elite back, and that is his inablilty to stay healthy.
