If things continue the way they looked Sunday, it doesn't appear Akers has much of an edge on Clyde Edwards-Helaire at the running back
position any longer as we once thought he did. Akers was largely unimpressive in this appearance, carrying the ball four times for nine yards, averaging just 2. 2 yards per carry. It was actually quarterback Spencer Rattler who led the team in rushing with 22 yards on the ground, while Akers lacked the desired "it" factor that was expected of him.

Two things that feel worth noting: Devin Neal got run with the 1s, and Cam Akers fumbled (D'Marco Jackson punched it out) on his first touch of camp. Reading too much into either would be an overreaction, but we shouldn't ignore those things, either.
