The Las Vegas Raiders recently released veteran running back Kenyan Drake. This is after he suffered a season-ending ankle injury in December of the 2021 season and only playing in 12 games. The Raiders went ahead and drafted Zamir White, Brittian Brown and also signed veterans Ameer Abdullah and Brandon Bolden, who will all compete for reps behind Josh Jacobs.
Over six seasons in the NFL, Drake has 3,384 total yards from scrimmage while averaging 4.4 yards per attempt with 37 touchdowns. Over the last two seasons Drake started in 15 games and rushed for 1,246 yards with 12 touchdowns. So far this year, in the three preseason games, Drake had ten carries for 36 yards and five receptions for 27 yards.
