Timeline
David Roy Akers (born December 9, 1974) is an American former professional football player who was a placekicker in the National Football League (NFL) for 16 seasons, primarily with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Between 1997 and 1998, as an undrafted free agent, Akers spent time trying to make the team with the Atlanta Falcons and Carolina Panthers.
He began his career in 1998 with the Washington Redskins after not making the main roster of the Atlanta Falcons and Carolina Panthers.
The following year, he signed with the Eagles, where he spent 12 seasons.
Akers was signed by the Washington Redskins in 1998 and played in one game for them, making two extra points but missing two field goal attempts of 48+ yards each.
He was waived by the Redskins during the 1999 season.
After Washington cut Akers, the Philadelphia Eagles claimed him off waivers and allocated him to NFL Europe.
Akers is an inductee of the Eagles Hall of Fame and a member of the Eagles' 75th Anniversary Team, along with being named to the second-team of the NFL 2000s All-Decade Team.
Akers attended Tates Creek High School in Lexington, Kentucky.
Akers attended college at the University of Louisville and played for the Louisville Cardinals football team.
During his four-year college career, Akers kicked a school-record 36 field goals (with a long of 51 yards against Texas A&M University), and ranks second on Louisville's all-time scoring list, with 219 points.
A solid season with the Berlin Thunder helped him earn the kicking job for the Eagles in 2000.
Akers proved to be one of the biggest special teams surprises in all of the NFL that season.
He made 29 out of 33 field goals (an 87.9% success rate), and had a team-record 121 points.
Akers earned the NFC Special Teams Player of the Month award in November 2000.
He was also named to the NFL All-Decade Team for the 2000s.
He made the Pro Bowl for the first time in 2001 as he went 26-for-31, making a team-record seventeen consecutive field goals during the season.
Akers' best statistical season was 2002 when he connected on 30 of 34 field goals (88.2%), scored a team-record 133 points, and made another Pro Bowl.
He got fewer chances in 2003, but still made 24 of 29 field goals.
He made the third-longest field goal in Eagles' history on September 14, 2003, a 57-yarder against the New England Patriots at the new Lincoln Financial Field.
He connected on 33 of 40 field goals (82.5 pct), his best percentage since 2004.
Injuries got to Akers in 2005 when he tore the hamstring in his non-kicking leg during the opening kickoff against the Oakland Raiders on September 25, 2005.
Akers left the game, but returned in the second half with a heavily taped leg to make two extra points and then kick the game-winning 28-yard field goal before collapsing in pain as his teammates mobbed him.
He missed the next four games and finished the season 16 for 22.
In 2006, Akers was injury-free, but made only 18 of 23 attempts (78.3%), his second-worst season statistically.
On December 16, 2007, in a 10–6 win over the Dallas Cowboys, Akers set the Philadelphia Eagles franchise record for most points and on Thanksgiving in 2008, Akers passed 1,000 career points during a 48–20 win over the Arizona Cardinals.
On December 7, 2008, Akers kicked a 51-yard field goal at Giants Stadium, his longest of the season.
In the same game he had two field goals blocked, one of which was returned for a touchdown.
At the end of the 2008 regular season, Akers again set the team single-season scoring record with an NFC-best 144 points.
On January 11, 2009, Akers kicked three field goals in three attempts during a divisional playoff win over the New York Giants.
The second of these set an NFL record for consecutive field goals without a miss during the postseason, previously held by one-time Eagle Gary Anderson.
Akers eventually ran his streak to a record 19 consecutive postseason field goal conversions; it was snapped the very next week against the Arizona Cardinals.
Akers had a total of thirty-five postseason field goal conversions during his career.
Akers was selected to the 2010 Pro Bowl, his fourth.
After the 2010 season, he was selected to his fifth career Pro Bowl.
Akers was signed by the San Francisco 49ers to a $9 million, three-year contract on July 29, 2011.
Akers was also a member of the San Francisco 49ers and Detroit Lions before retiring in 2013.
During his career, Akers was named to six Pro Bowls and twice received first-team All-Pro honors.
He also tied the then-NFL record for the longest successful field goal when he converted a 63-yard field goal, which is the third-longest in league history.
(The only longer field goals in Eagles' history have been Jake Elliott's 61-yard field goal in 2017 and Tony Franklin's 59-yard field goal in 1979.) In 2004, Akers continued his consistent kicking with an 84.4% field goal percentage, and he made his third Pro Bowl.
