twslhs20 Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 (edited) Honestly really sucks for this kid. I can't recall a RB ever recovering from this type of injury. Edited July 24, 2021 by twslhs20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sample size is really small of younger players getting the injury. I really can’t find a great comp for Akers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fureys49ers Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 (edited) Not sure if it’s been mentioned or not already but the only other young RB I can think of who had the same injury was D’Onta Foreman if I’m not mistaken. Also supposedly had poor work habits that didn’t help his recovery process I’m sure but it’s not great. Onviously Mack as well, but we haven’t seen him since.

Why in the world would you offer that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a fourth or a fifth. Point was that he's the one I'd most like the Rams to get. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MightyMouse07 Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 The history around Achilles recovery is such a small sample size that it’s tough to make any real connections. There aren’t many backs who were Akers caliber when they suffered the injury. Many were on their way out. Leshoure is the exception as he was a 2nd round pick but that’s was over a decade ago. We know science and medicine have advanced. We’ve seen older WRs come back from it like Sanders and Smith Sr. so there is still some hope for Akers.

drew39k Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 RB is such a throwaway position to begin with. That makes this injury such a career killer. Teams just don;t have the incentive to wait around and hope he can rebound when they can draft or sign a new young RB fairly easily. As long as your team has a decent Oline they can make almost any RB good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
