Akeem Ayers: The perfect fit?

A 25-year-old outside linebacker from Los Angeles, Akeem Ayers was selected in the second round of the 2011 NFL Draft at the 39th overall pick by the Tennessee Titans. After having played in Tennessee for 3 years, in his fourth year Ayers was traded to the New England Patriots, going on to win Super Bowl XLIX.

In 2014, Ayers recorded a total of 23 tackles, four sacks and one interception, largely produced during his time in Foxborough. The statistics show that Ayers is an impressive talent as a linebacker, keeping in mind he was playing on one of the best defensive rosters in the entire league.
