While preparing for the 2021 season, this LA Rams team has a lot to be optimistic about. We have a highly respected head coach, a significant upgrade at quarterback, an extremely talented receiving corps, and two of the best defensive players in the league. However, someone who has flown somewhat under the radar is our promising second-year young running back, Cam Akers.
The LA Rams drafted Akers with the 52nd pick from the 2020 NFL Draft out of Florida State. Because of where he was selected, his rookie contract only pays 1.4 million this year, which is an incredibly team-friendly number for a starting NFL running back.
