Miami Dolphins runners face camp battle for starting job

The Miami Dolphins currently employ six running backs and one fullback, Chandler Cox. On the surface, one would think that Kenyan Drake is the unquestioned starter but that could change once Chad O’Shea begins installing his offense.

The two names that will get the most attention through camp will be Drake and Kalen Ballage. The two will compete in camp for the starting job but while Ballage has some solid upside it will be hard to unseat Drake.

Drake wasn’t used properly by Adam Gase, especially in 2018. Whether it was by design, poor coaching, or Gase’s doghouse, Drake should have been more involved.
