Honoring Darren McFadden

Arkansas football's No. 5 jersey patch, honoring Darren McFadden, was recently introduced.

The athletics department announced in July that McFadden's number would be honored, not retired, with a patch added to both the offensive and defensive No. 5 jerseys.

It's a conversation piece, said McFadden, the Doak Walker Award winner and Heisman Trophy runner-up in 2006 and 2007.

McFadden was honored on the field during Arkansas' game against Texas A&M.
