Kenyan Drake underrated?

I haven't seen his name on here at all. Watching his tape he looks very impressive. He's elusive, can break tackles, extremely fast and has great hands.

So what's the knock on him?

This has some good information you could dig into a bit more if you want to see if you can find out how valid it is. I think it lists some things to consider. He seems like a player that could possibly find a role in the NFL. Perhaps we haven't had the opportunity to see the best of Drake yet? Certainly a few glimpses, though.

I must confess with the Henry meet I wondered if Drake was the real target.

Drake is #5 in Mayock's latest rankings

Running back

1. Ezekiel Elliott, Ohio State
2. Derrick Henry, Alabama
3. Devontae Booker, Utah
4. Kenneth Dixon, Louisiana Tech
5. Kenyan Drake, Alabama

Rise: Drake (NR)
Fall: C.J. Prosise, Notre Dame (5)

I'd like him a lot more than Henry, but still very hesitant to draft any RB from Alabama.

Still think Keith Marshall is the best mid-round RB prospect out there this year.

I think Marshall could be an electric player if he stays healthy. He hadn't had a chance to demonstrate what he can really do because of injuries.

Keith Marshall is the best RB in this draft.

Yep. That's the only thing that's held him back. For some reason Georgia RB's have all the talent in the world and TERRIBLE luck with knee injuries

This is my theory as well, we will get ERvin or drake imo.

Potentially

Starting to get the impression that the scientist likes Keith Marshall?

I really liked what I saw of this kid in the Senior Bowl. He was shifty and elusive and ran with power when defenders came to tackle him.
