Cam Akers is a bright spot for the Houston Texans during training camp.
The Houston Texans seemed pretty set at running back with Joe Mixon and Dameon Pierce, but they've added a third head to the monster during training camp that could play a big role in the season.
Cam Akers, a 2020 second-round pick out of Florida State, has had an up-and-down career with the Los Angeles Rams and Minnesota Vikings with majority of his time in the NFL headlined by injuries, namely two separate Achilles tears. However, he is now becoming a big part of the Texans backfield after signing with the team late last month.
“He already kind of came nice," quarterback C.J. Stroud said. "He's been playing at a high level since I can remember watching him in college. So, it's nothing that he changed. I think he's a little more focused now and just knows what he needs to do to get on the team. He's been working from there. His foundational work, I think, has been great in this offense, he's been in this type of style.
