The Las Vegas Raiders had Twitter in a frenzy during the 2021 offseason by signing Kenyan Drake. Former Alabama running back was offered $11 million guaranteed with Josh Jacobs already as the lead back.
Jon Gruden saw Drake in his joker role when he signed with the Raiders. Drake was heavily a part of the passing game early before blocking issues saw his third downs snaps decrease. When his carries started to rise later in the season, it ended with a broken ankle and a trip to IR.
Drake is back in a familiar system where he performed well early in his career.
