As I touched upon in my previous post, the competition for the upcoming NFL draft, at the running back position, is getting more heated by the day.

And now we can possibly add two more prospects to the tally: 2-time Heisman Trophy runner-up Darren McFadden and Oregon star Jonathon Stewart.

Although there are conflicting reports, multiple sources are maintaining that McFadden will absolutely enter the draft, while his father isn’t so quick to confirm the move.

Still no word from Felix Jones, McFadden’s teammate.

The deadline is Tuesday, so we’ll all know who’s in and who’s out within a few days.

UPDATE (1.13.07): Make that 3 juniors. West Virginia RB Steve Slaton has also thrown his hat into the ring for the draft.
