Kenyan Drake, the wide receiver? Examining new Raiders potential out wide

The Las Vegas Raiders made a controversial signing this offseason by inking former Arizona Cardinals and Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake to a two-year, $11 million contract.

Many people, including myself, were skeptical of spending that much money on a backup running back, especially since the organization decided to move on from three Week One starters along the offensive line. But the Raiders might have bigger plans for their newest offensive weapon that goes beyond an RB2 role.

In an interview with Mike Clay on Sirius XM NFL, Drake said he expects to play a more versatile role which includes playing some wide receiver in Las Vegas.
