The running back is hoping to ride the momentum of a strong finish in 2022 to a career year with free agency on the horizon

NEWPORT BEACH — After navigating the grueling traffic Tuesday morning down to Orange County for the start of training camp, Rams running back Cam Akers is ready for what he hopes will be a productive season navigating NFL defenses.

Akers hasn’t had the smoothest NFL career since being drafted in the second round out of Florida State in 2020. He worked his way into a larger role throughout his rookie season, only to tear his Achilles in July 2021. He stunned most observers by returning to the field just five months later in time to be a part of the Rams’ championship run to Super Bowl LVI.

Akers spent the offseason working to add “a lot” of weight to his 5-foot-10 frame in preparation for this campaign, as well as studying his own film from OTAs and those of his fellow backs to fine-tune his understanding of the Rams’ offense and his role in it, all with the hope of making this a career season.
