The Cardinals believed Drake was talented, but nothing in his previous 54 games in the NFL suggested he would have the impact he would have for the Cardinals. In only eight games, he ended up being the team’s leading rusher and, using those eight games, projected to roughly 1,300 yards over a full season. Acquired when the Cardinals had no healthy running backs, he simply stole David Johnson’s and Chase Edmonds’ jobs and was the driving force of their offense in the final half of the season.
