Gregg Rosenthal of NFL Media listed Drake as the 14th-best running back entering the 2018 season in his latest article ranking the best players at that position.

The man is a playmaker with low mileage and cheap. He can pass block, has the homerun speed and has one of most beautiful spin moves I've seen in a while. Let's hope gore is taking him under his wing leadership wise better ways to prepare his body long term. I would be shocked if both drake and ballage didn't work out with gore this offseason too
 
Sun sentinel ran an article about “professionalism” issues with Drake. Apparently that was one reason to bring in Gore. I hope Drake can understand nutrition, weight room, stretching, film room, etc. It would be great to have a defense have to stop our run.
 
One of my favorite players since joining the team. With his explosion, the stop/start, spin move stuff he is a home run threat on every play.

I can see him being an even bigger part of the passing game this year as there are very few LB’s in this league that can cover him. His pass protection is just the icing on the cake.

This Simon light (sic) guy compares him to Adrian Peterson. I’m not saying he belongs being mentioned in that rarified air but as far as similar ability and style it’s not a bad comparison.

?? He never had a problem with film, nor the weight room. He wasn’t required to be big at Bama, but you see he’s doing that now. Stretching? Sure I bet Gore can teach him a new stretching exercise or 2. I think it was more along the lines of just growing up with the mental aspects of the game. I’ll give you the nutrition and keeping his body healthy
 
A lot of good young backs in the league right now. That's a heck of a group to be part of at the top.

I can see a healthy Drake jumping into the mix right behind Zeke and LeVeon after this season.
 
They are pretty much copying PFFs ranking of Drake last year but its good to see him getting recognition.

Gore was actually ranked in the top 16 last year per PFF as well....We have 2 very good running backs, one just beginning his career and one in the twilight of it.

My bold prediction is Drake will be the first RB we resign since the Ronnie\Ricky days...Miller and Ajayi both had a good chance but Miller is declining lately and Ajayi is a bit of a diva
