At the end of the 2019 season, he skipped the Sun Bowl to get ready for the NFL Draft.
At the 2020 NFL Combine, this prospect ran a solid 4.47 in the 40-yard dash. After doing a 10’2″ broad jump and 20 reps on the bench press, his place in the NFL Draft was more than secure.
Collectors can find Akers’ rookie cards in 2020 Panini Elements, Legacy, Elite and SAGE HIT Premier Draft to name a few.
Here’s a look at Cam Akers in action:
Akers has great hands, quick feet, and enough speed to turn the corner for big gains. He may be used in a pass play or two since he was a quarterback.
