The 2017 season hasn’t gone according to plan for former Arkansas RB Darren McFadden. Even after Dallas Cowboys starter Ezekiel Elliott was suspended for six games, McFadden was passed on the depth chart by Alfred Morris and Rod Smith.

He was released by the Cowboys over the weekend and, instead of looking for a new team, has decided to call it quits on his NFL career.

As you can see in the letter below that he shared on Twitter, McFadden thanked everyone involved with his career and added that he’d be going to a few Arkansas football games in the coming years:

In 10 NFL seasons, McFadden ran for 5,421 yards and 28 touchdowns while playing for both the Oakland Raiders and Dallas Cowboys.

He had two seasons in which he eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark and also scored five times on receptions.

Now that he’s retired, it’s safe to say he’ll be around the Razorbacks quite a bit, which will be a great help for whoever the Hogs’ new coach ends up being.

Unless, of course, he ends up being the team’s next coach:

That’s a joke, obviously, but the Arkansas running backs could certainly learn a thing or two from the legendary Razorback.
