Dynasty Summary: Drake has as many doubters as he does supporters. He possesses good size and legitimate 4.45 speed. In fact, his tape speed shows a faster game than his timed speed would indicate. He fought through numerous injuries during his collegiate career leading many to believe that he’ll do so again in the NFL. His lateral agility and hip swivel are on display with every touch and he’s a threat with the ball in his hands. Drake often relies on his speed and agility, failing to let plays develop in front of him. He looks to be a better role player in a running back by committee than a lead back.
Rotoworld: 150. Where He Wins: The lightning to Henry's thunder, Drake is speedy (4.45 forty) with short-area burst (10'4" broad jump) and passing-game value. He has a ceiling in the Charles Sims range.
Mike Mayock: "He brings value. He's a third-down, change-of-pace guy. He returns kicks and is a gunner on special teams. When you punt, he hunts down punt returners." --
