If he can ever wise up, and stay out of the dog house, he will be special. Oh, and stop fumbling. I've been wanting to see him on the field more since he got on campus.

I like Yeldon. He's a good, all around back. Henry could be very good, but I'm still not 100% sold. But Drake could be a star, if used correctly. He's not going to be a TR pile mover, but his speed and vision are exceptional. He's at full speed as soon as he gets the ball, and he can outrun just about anyone on the field.

I just wish he'd get his shite together. And, the O-line is going to have to get better for any of the backs to excel.

I don't trust Drake. He fumbles way too often. Yeldon is not perfect, but I hold my breath every time Drake has the ball. Dr. Fumble is not reliable. I see him being beat out by Henry for the #2 job. If he keeps fumbling, we got Tenpenny, Jones, and Scarborough in the wings also.

I agree. He's the most explosive back by far and if not for fumbles, I think he's our best back

Unfortunately, I think he'll get fewer touches this year than last

Yep. Drake is a freak, and he has enough strength to move piles.

He's explosive, and he's a threat to take it the distance on any play. Best back on the team though? Eh, there is more to playing the position than being the most explosive runner.

I still think all three need to get 100+ carries. Just too good not to.

If Sims is our QB they all could get more than 100+

Sims won't be our QB. I'm confident in that after the A-Day debacle.

I kinda of wish that Saban and Lane use Drake like Arkansas used Felix Jones. To be honest, Henry, Yeldon, and Drake remind me of a better version of the trio Arkansas had.

I've been telling you guys for a year that Sims will not be the starter.

Kenyan Drake is the reincarnation of Linnie Patrick.
