Rams punter Johnny Hekker decks Cliff Avril, cowers in fear (Video)
By Josh Hill
Ram punter Johnny Hekker lived up to every horrible stereotype about a punter you can possibly think of.
When you’re a punter in the NFL, you have to fend for yourself most of the time. That’s the life that Johnny Hekker has lived in his days with the Rams, and it’s made him a little mean. Puppies aren’t born mean, they have to be bred that way, and this holds true for Hekker.
On Sunday against the Seahawks, Hekker decided to show he had some bite and went after the Seattle defense despite the fact that the Legion of Boom would chew him up and spit him out.
That’s not something that fazed the Pro Bowl punter in the slightest. Hekker decided to give Ciff Avril a little shot from behind, which Avril then turned around on the punter in the most hilarious way possible.
That’s not going to kill any stereotypes we might believe about punters and their toughness. Then again, Cliff Avril is a big dude, and we can’t pretend that if he was coming at us we wouldn’t duck too.
Basically, we’re all Johnny Hekker today.
