Jordan Akins has been raising eyebrows at practices ahead of Saturday’s Senior Bowl. The UCF tight end is here to make a positive impression on NFL scouts and so far, he’s accomplished just that.
During Wednesday’s practice session, the 6-foot-3, 246-pound converted wide receiver made the catch of the day, wowing those in attendance with a one-handed snag on a short crossing pattern at the goal line for a touchdown.
Akins kept his defender on his hip and showed his athleticism by getting his body in place to make the catch on a perfect throw to the pylon by Western Kentucky quarterback Mike White, a former USF player.
