Kenyan Drake - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Announces retirement Drake announced Friday that he is retiring from the NFL, Josina Anderson of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Drake said "I love the game, but I don't love the business. I'm at peace with the decision. I'm healthy and ready to start the next chapter of my life." The 30-year-old running back played for the Dolphins, Cardinals, Raiders, Ravens and Packers throughout his career, and also spent time with the Colts and Browns. He compiled a total of 3,866 rushing yards (4.4 YPC), including a 2020 season with Arizona in which he rushed for 955 yards and 10 scores on 239 attempts, but Drake may be best remembered his 52-yard run for a touchdown on a lateral from DeVante Parker in 2018's "Miracle in Miami."

Ravens Kenyan Drake The Odd Man Out in Crowded Baltimore RB Room? Kenyan Drake could be the one cast aside this offseason as the Ravens running back room is getting rather crowded.

Inactive Sunday Drake is inactive for Sunday night's playoff game against the Bengals.

Impact With J.K. Dobbins, who was rested in Week 18, back in the lineup, Drake is the odd man out in Baltimore's backfield versus Cincinnati. In the mix behind Dobbins on Sunday are Gus Edwards and Justice Hill.

JANUARY 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Fills in effectively Drake rushed the ball 16 times for 60 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-16 loss to the Bengals. He added two receptions on five targets for 19 yards.

Impact Drake had been inactive for each of Baltimore's last three games, but he got back in action with J.K. Dobbins (rest) sidelined. His workload expanded further when Gus Edwards exited late in the first quarter, and Drake took advantage by contributing significantly in the form of an 18-yard run and a four-yard touchdown plunge in the second quarter. Depending on Edwards' status, Drake could have a role in Baltimore's wild-card round rematch against the Bengals.
