63. Cam Akers | RB | Florida State
Akers is one of the mysteries of the draft class.
He’s loaded with potential, as evidenced by his performance at the 2020 NFL Scouting Combine. At Florida State, Akers was stuck behind a poor offensive line and worked some serious miracles. His work behind the line of scrimmage reminds me of Le’Veon Bell, as he has that same type of patience and burst as a runner.
Akers has solid contact balance and knows how to finish his runs. He gets the most yardage possible. His feet are extremely quick, which gives him an advantage against defenders in the open field. He definitely has the type of receiving ability and numbers that will pique the interest of Andy Reid. My biggest concern with Akers in Kansas City is that I feel he’s a better fit for a gap-power scheme as opposed to the zone and RPO-heavy stuff that Chiefs run.
