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.
With the Yankees on an impressive run of mostly correct decisions, there’s some reason to leave them alone and just let the best team in the American League continue to roll. But they did raise serious doubt and leave room for suggestions (and even ridicule) following maybe the most inexplicable decision of this season, or any season.
The Giants have never been 0-2 under Brian Daboll, until now. They were 2-0 and flying high in 2022 and 1-1 after a rousing comeback in Arizona in 2023. So, this represents a low point as far as early-season difficulties for Daboll and the Giants. They had no business beating the Vikings in the opener and no business losing to the Commanders in Week 2. But here they are.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Harrison Butker kept making a lonely walk to midfield after each quarter Sunday to check on the direction of the wind, which tends to swirl inside Arrowhead Stadium. He did it one last time during the 2-minute warning, when his Chiefs were trailing the Bengals by two and trying to give him a winning field-goal attempt.
