Just do it
Former Arkansas running back Darren McFadden won’t have to pay for his training expenses before April’s NFL Draft. Nike will cover them.
Obviously that seems to indicate that McFadden will likely sign an endorsement deal with the American shoe company, although representatives said that the decision is up to “Mr. McFadden.” Riiight. Here’s more:
Nike Dir of U.S. Media Relations Dean Stoyer in an e-mail said McFadden does not have a signed agreement with Nike “at this time.”
“Who Mr. McFadden signs with is up to Mr. McFadden, but there is certainly an opportunity for us to demonstrate what Nike is all about … hard work and peak performance,” Stoyer wrote.
Olympic Gold Medal-winning sprinter Johnson opened the Nike-sponsored training center last year after previously training a number of top NFL Draft prospects, including Chargers running back LaDainian Tomlinson, at IMG Academies for former IMG and current CAA Sports football agent Tom Condon.
Johnson’s training center in McKinney, Texas, is sponsored by Nike. “As an official training center for Nike athletes, they will send us athletes year in and year out,” Johnson said. “They have been in discussions with Darren … so he came in on their allotment.”
More power to him…………he’s earned it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
