Former Alabama running back Kenyan Drake has been relatively quiet during his professional career while on the Dolphins.
However, since being traded to the Arizona Cardinals after Week 6, he hasn’t been able to keep his name out of the headlines.
He continues to excel in the lead role for the Cardinals backfield in their match up against the red-hot Seattle Seahawks.
Drake opened up the Cardinal’s scoring with an 80-yard touchdown run which put his speed on display.
KENYAN DRAKE.

In the contest Drake posted another impressive line of 24 carries for 166 yards and two touchdowns.
Today’s stats bring his season’s totals to 158 carries for  757 yards and seven touchdowns.
Drake’s contract is up after this season and with the success he has had with Arizona in 2019, they may look to just pay him what he wants to keep him there.
The combination of Kyler Murray and Drake seems to be working for the team who had a rough start to the season.
Adding some offensive talent to this team through the draft just might make them a viable candidate for the 2020 NFL playoffs.
