From the moment that the LA Rams added running back Cam Akers to the 2020 roster, the option to run a version of the Wildcat formation with this offense came along with him. You see, the 2020 roster carried just two quarterbacks, which meant that in any game, injury to then-starter Jared Goff would automatically place backup quarterback John Wolford under center. But in the rare but disastrous circumstances of a second quarterback injury, this time to Wolford, who would the Rams turn to then?

Well, one option was running back Cam Akers, who pushed hard for that role due to his playing the dual-threat quarterback in high school, before focusing his efforts on becoming a running back exclusively.
