Kenyan Drake retires from NFL after eight seasons: ‘Incredible ride’
NY Post
Kenyan Drake is retiring from the NFL, the former running back announced on social media Friday afternoon.
“It’s been an incredible ride,” he wrote on Instagram. “Hard to believe 8 seasons have come and gone. I’ve loved the journey — the wins, the moments big and small, the comradery, the energy, all of it […] Ready to enjoy a little retirement and see where the next chapter takes me. Thanks to everyone that was along for the ride with me — wouldn’t change a thing.”
After being drafted in the third round of the 2016 NFL Draft by the Dolphins out of Alabama, Drake, 30, spent eight seasons in the league, totaling 3,866 rushing yards and 41 total touchdowns.
He spent four years in Tuscaloosa with the Crimson Tide under head coach Nick Saban, winning the 2012 and 2015 national championships.
Drake spent his first three-plus NFL seasons in Miami — most notably scoring the winning touchdown on the “Miami Miracle” against the Patriots in 2018 — before being dealt to the Cardinals at the 2019 trade deadline, kicking off perhaps the best stretch of his career.
In eight games with Arizona in 2019, Drake ran for eight touchdowns and 643 yards.
