During the entire 2021 offseason, I don’t recall hearing a single person hype up the “duo of Cam Akers and Darrell Henderson” that would man the LA Rams backfield this season. I know I read and participated in some debate about whether or not Akers would become a “top-10 running back”. I speculated that if Akers was going to be a true number one, that Henderson might even be worth putting on the trade block — should a team lose their “true number one”.
(It turns out that the team that needed to trade for Henderson was the Rams all along.
