Overview
A jack-of-all-trades for the Eagles, Akin was recruited as a running back and has since seen action at outside linebacker, strong safety, cornerback and even kick returner. Despite being moved around throughout his career, the versatile Akins' tendency to make plays stands out. He leaves Boston College with 132 career tackles, including 21 tackles for loss, 15.5 sacks and five interceptions. If Akins can impress at the Combine, his instincts and knack for making big plays could inspire a creative defensive coordinator or eager special teams coach to grab Akins in the late rounds.

| Grade | Title | Draft (Round) | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 96-100 | Future Hall of Famer | Top Pick | A once-in-a-generation type prospect who could change how his position is played |
| 85-95 | Immediate Starter | 1st | An impact player with the ability/intangibles to become a Pro Bowl player. Expect to start immediately except in a unique situation (i.e. behind a veteran starter). |
| 70-84 | Eventual Starter | 2nd-3rd | A quality player who will contribute to the team early on and is expected to develop into a starter. A reliable player who brings value to the position. |
| 50-69 | Draftable Player | 4th-7th | A prospect with the ability to make team as a backup/role player. Needs to be a special teams contributor at applicable positions. Players in the high range of this category might have long-term potential. |
| 20-49 | Free Agent | UDFA | A player with solid measurables, intangibles, college achievements, or a developing skill that warrants an opportunity in an NFL camp. In the right situation, he could earn a place on a 53-man roster, but most likely will be a practice squad player or a camp body. |
