Seeking 'extra power,' Dolphins RB Kenyan Drake puts on weight for upcoming season

Projected to become the main running back for the Miami Dolphins, former Alabama running back Kenyan Drake has decided it would be wise to put some extra weight on his frame in preparation for the upcoming season.

“So I’m about 215 right now,” Drake said prior to the beginning of the third annual Dolphins Cancer Challenge Celebrity Golf Tournament. “I know as I run around I’ll probably lose that weight. But maintaining it is definitely something I want to do. Get to that weight to begin with, sustain it during the offseason program. Then when training camp hits, I might lose five pounds, but I’ll still be at an optimal weight for the season.
