#2 David Akers   Pos: Kicker NFL Team: PHI Injury: OK Experience: 11 College: Louisville Height: 70 Weight: 200 Born: 12/9/1974  Year   Tm   Gm   XPM   XPA   FGM   FGA   17-29   30-39   40-49   50+  PROJ PHI 38 27 32 2008 PHI 16 45 45 33 40 13 11 7 2 2007 PHI 16 36 36 24 32 12 10 1 1 2006 PHI 16 48 48 18 23 9 3 6 0 2005 PHI 12 23 23 16 22 3 7 5 1 SUMMARY Kicker Rank: #8    Overall: #154 Akers has been in the league 11 years, but last year was his best. He had a career high 144 points, making 83 percent of his kicks. It was the first time in three seasons Akers made more than 80 percent of his field-goal attempts. When making it through a full season with the Eagles, Akers averages 120 points per season. Akers remains an accurate kicker with a strong leg. He will struggle on some longer kicks at this stage of his career, though (34 years old). FANTASY OUTLOOK Akers won't repeat last season, but getting around 120 points is a pretty good bet. Akers isn't going to help you a ton leagues that reward longer kicks, but he'll get you consistent points in a good Eagles offense. 2010-01-30 16:23:02 Bob Brookover, of the Philadelphia Inquirer, reports Philadelphia Eagles PK David Akers said he believes he can play several more years in the NFL. 'I think around 40 [years old] would be pretty realistic. I would think if the team wanted to sign me to this year [2010] and a three-year extension - a total of four years - I wouldn't think that would be out of the realm of possibility at all,' Akers said.
