NFL evaluator: Alabama RB Kenyan Drake a first-round talent - NFL.com-rbr

If the chip on Derrick Henry's shoulder isn't big enough after spending the pre-draft months hearing that he's likely not a first-round draft pick, how big might it become when he hears his former backup might be? Alabama running backKenyan Drake, an explosive athlete with return skills, but also a lengthy history of injuries, is a first-round talent according to an NFL evaluator who spoke with MMQB's Peter King.

rbr opNow this is interesting. I've always been very high on Drake, and I think he stands a solid shot to be an even better NFL player than Henry. He has a great blend of unnatural speed and acceleration to go along with surprising size and power. He offers value not only as a running back, but as a receiver and return man as well. Just watch this video summing up his career at Alabama, and tell me you don't see ridiculous untapped potential.
