For a few of them, the NFL life is very stable, very happy, and while it’s always filled with stress, it has some stability built in. David Akers, for example, played for 12 seasons as an Eagle, was one of the best in the business and in fact goes into the franchise’s Hall of Fame during the October 23 game against Washington at Lincoln Financial Field.
Since Akers departed, unceremoniously, it’s been a bit of a merry-go-round at the position. Alex Henery was lights out after the Eagles selected him in the fourth round of the 2011 draft – for two seasons.
