Drake, appears to be the more versatile running back. I'd feed him the ball 75% of the time if he stays healthy.




Drake is a college type running back where Henry is built for a long career in the NFL if he has the intangibles (discipline, motivation, intelligence, maturity, etc.)

Drake's NFL future would be as a return specialist or a conversion to DB or wide out.

Drake's NFL career would be as a 3rd down back or a WR. They ain't a snowballs chance in hell a team would convert him to DB.

Drake is not a third down back unless he has exceptional hands and is a very good blocker picking up the blitzes. The NFL is looking for a big back on third downs that can catch, block and run strong for positive yardage. This is usually the bigger guys.

Why wouldn't they give Drake the opportunity to convert if that was his possibility to make the league? They did it for McCaleb and gave him two years to learn.

Drake is a pass catching RB. He has the ability to line up all over the field. Does he have the size and blocking that most RBs have, no. Look how New Orleans and Philly used Darren Sproles and that would be the ideal use for Drake in my opinion. Sproles is the RB out there on 3rd and medium-long due to his agility and pass catching ability.

Not that he doesn't have the ability to convert but if taken by a NFL team it would be hard to move seeing as he has never played any other position other than RB and kick returner. This is my amateur opinion on everything and more often than not I am wrong (I did predict Cooper Bateman to look better than Coker). smile
