An undrafted journeyman who outlasted everyone

David Akers bounced through tryouts, a single game in Washington, and NFL Europe before Philadelphia gave him a real chance in 2000, and he became an Eagles institution, the reliable leg through a decade of contenders including the Super Bowl XXXIX squad.

Madden climbed him from an 80 to a 99 by the 2006 edition, one of the most productive scorers in football season after season. His late highlight came after he left, a 2011 season with San Francisco that tied the single-season field-goal record and reached Super Bowl XLVII. Six Pro Bowls later, he was the undrafted specialist who outlasted everyone through sheer reliability.

How to read these: Each row is the player’s rating in that year’s Madden, listed by the NFL season it covers (Madden NFL 2001 = the 2000 season). Madden sets its ratings before the season is played, so they reflect the previous season’s performance - a player’s breakout year tends to show up as a jump in the following year’s game.
Note: Some Madden releases tracked fewer attributes than others. Cells shown as - were not published by EA that year.
