Philadelphia Eagles: 5 RB options that are better than Jordan Howard
The 26-year-old Kenyan Drake will get his fair share of attention from his fair share of suitors because he’s young and he’s talented. He’s another in a line of talented running backs that the so-called offensive genius, Adam Gase, failed to evaluate properly.
Gase let Drake walk, and the youngster spent six games of the NFL season with the Miami Dolphins in 2019, racking up 174 yards on 47 carries in the process. Then, he landed in an Arizona Cardinals uniform, and the results were pleasing there. Drake contributed with 643 rushing yards on 123 attempts, another 171 yards on 28 receptions and eight trips to paydirt.
Circle his name on your lists if you’re an Eagles fan as Drake is one of those versatile talents that head coach Doug Pederson falls in love with. Once you’ve done that, put an asterisk by his name as well because the idea of hammering him up the middle 20 times a game doesn’t seem like an idea that will yield a ton of fruit.
He’s too talented to ignore though. The future is very bright for one Mr. Drake.
