It didn’t take Kenyan Drake long to feel at home in Arizona.
The former Alabama running back was traded to the Cardinals by the Miami Dolphins earlier this week. Arizona happens to be playing in this week’s Thursday night NFL game, meaning Drake was practically getting ready for the game from the time he stepped off the plane.
In his first game as a Cardinal, Drake quickly made his presence felt. On his first Arizona carry, Drake logged a 36-yard run. He capped off the drive with a touchdown run, his first score of the 2019 season.
