Silver and Black Report

WALTER MCFADDEN

• CORNERBACK
• No: 22
• Height: 5-10
• Weight: 180
• Birth date: 01/21/1987
• College: AUBURN
• Acquired: Selected in the 5^th round of the 2010 NFL entry draft (138^th overall)

The Oakland Raiders chose defensive back Walter McFadden with the 138^th overall selection in the 2010 draft. While at Auburn, McFadden earned one of the starting cornerback spots during his junior season. Known for his playmaking in the secondary, three of his nine interceptions went for scores, including a school record 100-yarder against Northwestern in the 2010 Outback Bowl.

McFadden played in 49-games at Auburn, starting his final 25 contests at left cornerback. In 2009, he was an All-SEC first team selection, while also adding All-American honorable mention from the NFL Draft Report.

In the Silver & Black’s minicamp last weekend, McFadden continued showing a nose for the football and displayed enough in his first outing that he could potentially be a contributor early in his career.

The Pittsburgh Steelers drafted McFadden’s brother –Bryant – in 2005, starting at cornerback for them during their Super Bowl before departing to Arizona in 2009.
