Irrespective of the fact that his college career with Alabama Crimson Tide of the University of Alabama was very fulfilling, it was thought that his deeds with the college team weren’t enough justification for him to inherit the starting running back spot of The Fins. To most people, he was not just ready for the task. As such, it was quite a relief when the decision makers of The Dolphins announced Drake as the second running back and Damien Williams, the first.

But then, Williams would soon be injured, leaving the team with little option but to name Kenyan Drake the starting running back. They did and have not regretted the decision. If anything, many have come to believe he’s doing a good job helping The Dolphins kick asses, better than Damien and Jay. This was pretty obvious in the 35 – 9 victory the team recorded over Denver Broncos and the 27 – 20 upset of the New England Patriots that followed.
