re: Yeldon and Drake - always be fumblers?

I wonder if it has to do with their body types compared to Trent/Mark. Yeldon and Drake both have an almost WR "All purpose back" type body. Both are kinda lanky for a RB with longer arms.

With Drake I think his running style contributes to his ball security issue. He relies a lot on exceptional burst through the hole. You get more burst pumping both arms hard than you do one. Pumping both arms while going across the LOS = increased chance of fumble.
