APA change of lifestyle?
For a while, Gralon McFadden could keep up with his athletic kids. A former college football player himself, McFadden is a carpenter now, living in the Little Rock area. Ella McFadden, Darren's stepmother, has worked for the state for about three decades.
Gralon McFadden is as coy as anyone about his son's upcoming fortune, saying he doesn't know how much he'll benefit from it.
"He'll be the one rich," Gralon McFadden says.
Ella McFadden concurs, saying the family doesn't feel the need to live too lavishly.
"A trip here, a trip there," she concedes.
McFadden's sister might be moving in with him, but his parents don't seem interested in leaving Arkansas. Instead, they just hope he ends up with a team close by — Dallas, Kansas City or St. Louis.
Gaylon McFadden has been monitoring her brother's prospects, though, and she has a sense of what might happen on Draft Day.
"Oakland and the Jets — they're really looking at him," she says.
So that means New York or the Bay Area. Any preference?
"It'll be a change of pace for me regardless," she says. "I'm not really a cold person, being from down south. I'm not used to the two feet of snow and the blizzard weather. Regardless of where it is, I'm going to be happy, just so I can make sure he's happy."
