As former Alabama running back Kenyan Drake prepared for pre-draft visits to see the Cowboys, 49ers, Dolphins, and Colts, he understood the trip he completed this past Sunday might end up being the most impactful of them all.
Drake was in his home state of Georgia, but not to meet with the Atlanta Falcons team he grew up cheering for from suburban Marietta. Instead, Drake stopped at Atlanta’s Shepard Center for spinal cord & brain injury rehabilitation, where Alabama native and Crimson Tide diehard Daniel Wesley has been a patient since the end of February.
