Kenyan Drake

His performance was something on Sunday.  He managed to eclipse Chase Edmonds 126-yard, 3 touchdown performance on October 20th at the New York Giants.

He ran for 137-yards and 4 touchdowns.  That’s right he ran for 4 touchdowns.  He could have had 5 if things had worked out correctly.

Still, he looked fresh.  He also got a game ball from coach Kliff Kingsbury in the Cardinals locker room after the game.

Not only did Drake have his best day as a Cardinals running back, it was the first time he experienced a victory in 2019.  When he arrived in Arizona in week 9, the Miami Dolphins were still winless.

This was the first game the Cardinals won since Drake arrived.  Now, Drake appears to be the front runner for the starting job in 2020.  It will be interesting to see how the Cardinals handle the backup spot between David Johnson and Edmonds.
