McFadden, 27, has been with the Raiders since they took him fourth overall in 2008.
He got an up-close look at the two teams fighting for this year's Lombardi Trophy, having lined up against both the Patrios and the Seahawks this season.
The Raiders fell in two close games, losing 16-9 to New England in Week 3 and 30-24 to Seattle in Week 9.
The Seahawks head to Glendale, Ariz. looking to defend their title, and be the first team to repeat as Super Bowl champs since the Patriots in the 2003-04 seasons.
Seattle is a two-point favorite over New England, according to Las Vegas oddsmakers.
The Seahawks napalmed Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos in last year's Super Bowl, winning 48-3.
This Patriots team led by coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady have now been to six Super Bowls and have won three.
