RB Kenyan Drake retires after eight NFL seasons

Running back Kenyan Drake announced his retirement after eight NFL seasons Friday on Instagram.

Drake, 30, gained 5,521 yards from scrimmage and scored 41 touchdowns in 104 games with five teams.

"It's been an incredible ride," Drake posted. "... 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."

Drake was limited to two games with the Baltimore Ravens and one with the Green Bay Packers last season.

The Miami Dolphins drafted him in the third round (73rd overall) out of Alabama in 2016.

Drake played a role in one of the most memorable plays in NFL history with the Dolphins in a clash against the visiting New England Patriots on Dec. 9, 2018.

With Miami trailing New England 33-28 in the closing seconds, Drake took a lateral from Dolphins receiver DeVante Parker and raced 50 yards to the end zone as time expired to give Miami an improbable 34-33 win.

Drake rushed for 3,866 yards and 33 touchdowns and had 218 catches for 1,655 yards and eight scores in 104 games (44 starts) with the Dolphins (2016-19), Arizona Cardinals (2019-20), Las Vegas Raiders (2021), Ravens (2022-23) and Packers.
