"Kenyan Drake Backs Controversial NFL Rule Change After 2021 Injury"
NFL running back Kenyan Drake voiced support for the league's ban on hip-drop tackles, citing a 2021 injury that caused him to miss games with the Las Vegas Raiders. The controversial rule change, which was unanimously approved by team owners, will result in a 15-yard penalty and likely fines for players. The NFL Players Association has opposed the rule, but NFL executive Jeff Miller stated that the hip-drop tackle was used 230 times last season, leading to at least 15 players missing time with injuries.
