Chris Bivins brings veteran-man coverage savvy and bounce-back athleticism to Akron's secondary
In the 2015 season, Chris Bivins was a useful depth piece for Akron, appearing in two games, recording two tackles and a pass breakup, and his earlier junior-college resume at Highland CC showed playmaking traits with 38 tackles, 7 pass breakups, 1 sack, and 1 interception in 2014. He stands out for his experience, ball skills, and versatility in the defensive backfield, but his path also includes an ACL re-tear at USF, so durability matters. If you want a safety who can compete, communicate, and add reliable rotational value, he’s a smart, gritty fit.
