Darren McFadden was selected with the No. 4 overall pick in the 2008 NFL Draft by the Oakland Raiders. He made an immediate impact in the silver-and-black’s rushing attack that year by playing in 13 games and racking up 499 yards on the ground to go along with four touchdowns. A year later, he totaled 357 rushing yards and 245 receiving yards over 12 games. One of those games occurred against the Houston Texans on Oct. 4, 2009. The Raiders lost 29-6, but McFadden battled to the end. He took five hand-offs from QB JaMarcus Russell that day and caught a single pass coming out of the backfield for five yards.
This lot includes McFadden’s game-worn Oakland Raiders throwback style jersey from that game.
The black mesh Reebok jersey (size 44) shows considerable wear and tear with dirt marks, sweat stains and multiple paint transfers from various on-field collisions. The jersey has a "09-44" swatch on the inside rear collar, while a "Reebok [size] 44" tag remains in the left front tail with an attached flag tag reading "4" L.B." The official NFL logo shield patch appears at the base of the jersey's v-neck area. In addition, a special Raiders "1960-2009 Commitment to Excellence" embroidered black, white and silver patch is stitched above the left breast. “McFADDEN” is stitched in silver tackle twill across the back nameplate and his uniform number “20” appears in silver tackle twill on the front, back and both sleeves. The official Reebok patch appears on both sleeves right above McFadden's uniform number. In addition to the dirt and contact marks, there is noticeable fraying of the letter and number stitching. This jersey hails from the esteemed Delbert Mickel Estate Collection.
Includes Certificate of Authenticity from the Oakland Raiders' equipment manager.
