Kenyan Drake Brings Legitimate Speed To Cardinals Backfield
5 years agoArizona Cardinals running back Kenyan Drake enjoyed plenty of success in the desert in 2019 after being traded from the Dolphins. He nearly doubled his 15-plus mph rush rate when he came to the Cardinals, going from 14.9 percent of rushes in Miami to 26.8 percent in Arizona. Drake rushed the ball 123 times in Arizona and hit 15-plus mph on more than a fourth of those attempts, while he carried the ball just 47 times in Miami. The 26-year-old was a top-five running back while in Arizona for a partial season. And now that the team moved on from David Johnson, Drake surely has RB1 upside in Arizona in an offense that should be able to put up plenty of points.
