It seems pretty safe to say that Green Bay Packers running back Kenyan Drake has an axe to grind with Baltimore Ravens fans.
Drake played in a couple of games with the Ravens earlier this season, carrying the ball just one time for no yards and logging a couple of catches for 31 yards before being released.
Well, in one of his only appearances of the 2023 campaign, Drake fumbled in a loss to the Indianapolis Colts, and Baltimore fans are still upset about it.
Upon signing with the Packers’ practice squad earlier this week, Drake took to social media to express his displeasure with the Ravens faithful.
Apparently, Drake, who also had a cup of coffee with the Cleveland Browns’ practice squad this season, was a little too happy when the Browns defeated the Ravens a few weeks back, and it irked Baltimore fans.
Not sure why Drake would brag too much about Cleveland’s win considering he never even actually played a down for the Browns, but hey, whatever.
Drake originally joined the Ravens in 2022 and appeared in 12 contests with the club last season, rushing for 482 yards and four touchdowns while averaging 4.4 yards per carry.
The 29-year-old, who played his collegiate football at the University of Alabama, was originally selected by the Miami Dolphins in the third round of the 2016 NFL Draft.
He spent the first three-and-a-half years of his career with the Dolphins before being traded to the Arizona Cardinals midway through 2019. That season, Drake registered 817 yards and eight scores on the ground while recording a robust 4.8 yards per tote. He also caught 50 passes for 345 yards.
The following year, Drake posted 955 yards while reaching the end zone 10 times as a rusher in his first full season with the Cardinals. That was the most productive campaign of his NFL career.
It remains to be seen if Kenyan Drake will get an opportunity in a Packers rushing attack that has struggled this year.
Green Bay is 6-6 and will take on the New York Giants next Monday.
