The Houston Texans typically operate a multiple offense showcasing spread RPO elements, play-action passing, and a strong emphasis on a zone running game.
Akins can immediately contribute as a pass-catching F-TE/H-Back in 12 personnel with the potential to develop into a versatile offensive weapon given his athletic traits.
A traditional run-heavy offense requiring an inline, blocking-first tight end would diminish his primary strengths.
His athletic ability and receiving prowess make him a strategic fit for the Texans' offense, providing another target for their quarterback.
Selected #98 overall in Round 3 of the 2018 NFL Draft by Houston Texans out of UCF.
