GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Kenyan Drake was a revelation for the Arizona Cardinals last season, providing a versatile, productive running back after his midseason trade from the Miami Dolphins in October.

The 26-year-old Drake feels this year can be even better now that he has an improved grasp of the playbook. Drake joins Chase Edmonds and they hope to provide a productive duo in the backfield.

They're in an offense that loves to pass but coach Kliff Kingsbury says a productive running game is crucial. Drake ran for 643 yards and eight touchdowns in eight games.
