Overall
Akeem is a versatile backer who creates havoc with his ability to read and react and his closing burst. Speed is the name of his game. He is good in pass coverage and is an effective blitzer. His biggest hurdle will be due to his size which hinders his ability to disengage from blockers assuming they can get their hands on him. Being viewed as a 2nd round pick.
