San Francisco 49ers cornerback Kenneth Acker has shown throughout the first seven weeks of the NFL season just how good he can be. With three interceptions — one behind the league leaders at four — Acker has been one of the shining lights of a dismal season thus far for the 49ers.
A second year player officially, Acker spent his first season with the 49ers without playing a down due to a foot injury. Acker has started every game this season, helping lead to Shareece Wright‘s departure from the 49ers to the Baltimore Ravens.
