By this point in the season, you’ve heard a lot about a few players who missed all of last season due to injury. The first name that comes to mind is probably NaVorro Bowman.
And rightly so. Bowman’s journey to get back to the playing field generated national attention.
That being said, Kenneth Acker went through a similar arduous process without the attention.
The San Francisco 49ers second-year cornerback never saw the field during his rookie season due to a foot injury. Like Bowman, Acker also spent more than a year rehabbing his way back to health.
