Earlier on Saturday, we reported that Arkansas running back Darren McFadden has hired former Olympian Mike Conley to handle McFadden’s marketing opportunities.  We assumed that Conley would then be steering McFadden toward an agent.

We’re now told by a source close to the McFadden camp that the family has hired David Cornwell to serve as counsel, and that Cornwell will be involved in the selection of an agent and a financial advisor, and in the negotiation of contracts with them.

Also, an agent has not been picked, and there likely will be a selection process for an agent to negotiate McFadden’s contract.
