The Las Vegas Raiders drew some criticism by signing Kenyan Drake, but he could be the key to the offense during the 2021 NFL season.

At the start of Jon Gruden’s second tenure as Raiders head coach, he famously said he “wanted to throw the game back to 1998”. While this may have been a case of Gruden hyperbolizing his fascination with old-school football, it’s been clear that the veteran head coach still loves to run the football.
