Former Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake announced his retirement from the NFL on Friday.
“It’s been an incredible ride,” Drake wrote on Instagram. “Hard to believe 8 seasons have come and gone. I’ve loved the journey – the wins, the moments big and small, the comradery [sic], the energy, all of it. I can’t say I loved everything (if you’ve ever done training camp in Miami you can relate lol), but certainly appreciate the lows and the grind, and know those moments grew me as a football player and more importantly as a person. 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, 30, was the first of two Dolphins third-round picks in the 2016 NFL draft and spent the first three and a half years of his career with the team. During his fourth season in Miami, Drake was traded to the Arizona Cardinals for a pick that was eventually used to acquire running back Matt Breida.

During his 54 games with the Dolphins, Drake recorded 1,532 rushing yards and 936 receiving yards with 16 total touchdowns. None was more memorable than his miraculous game-winning score against the New England Patriots as time expired in a 2018 game.
