Count Down - Jersey #6

[DaveFan'51]

This is another short list of Players, I could find only two!!
Starting with Punter John Misko: (1982-84)

He had 201 Punts for 8128 Yds. w/a long of 67 Yds. he had two blocked and had an aver. of 40.4

Now compare that to my last man. Punter Johnny Hekker: (2012-present)

He's kicked 240 punt's for 11,086 Yds. a long of 68 Yds. and had 2 Blocked. for an average of 46.2!

And his passing hasn't been anything to shake a stick at either!
He's completed 5 of 6 for 79 Yds. Zero Ints. w/a long of 21 Yds. a comp. rate of 83.3% and a QB rating of "158.3"!!

In 2013 he made the Pro Bowl and was voted an All Pro!

He's a Player the opponents have to worry about and wonder, ' Is he going to really kick it or will he pass!!!?!

This^ says volumes!

He's one of my favorite Rams on the current squad.

I wish I had the Video of what he's doing here to share with you but I don't! Anyone have it!? It was quite a show!!

I would like to see him as our 'Side-Line commentator after he retires! HE'S VERY POPULAR WITH THE FAN'S!

This^ is for @CodeMonkey & @-X-! " Hekker is obviously going into competition with you gentlemen designing Avatar's!!

That's all I have for today. Anyone have anything to add? gif's, memories? comments?

GO RAMS!!

I don't think the Rams have ever had such a dual-threat ST weapon as Hekker, aside from the returner burners we've had.

I don't know if this counts, But Bothe Bob Waterfield & Norm Van Brocklin Alternated at K/P/QB, and did real well at All three positions!

They had a fan play pictionary last night with Hekker as the artist. The fan guessed the picture/answer was "sharknado". Sorry but I don't have an image of it but it was pretty good. Hekker is a nut and a pretty decent artist too.

Johnny Hekker is a stud!!!

 

[DaveFan'51]

As I turn out there are only 3 Players that have ever warn the #6 Jersey to date. So here's the 3rd man:
* K Carlo Huerta - 1996

I could only find photos of him from when he was at the "U" ( Univ.of Miami)

In his 1 Season with the Rams he played in 1 game and had 2 XPA's and 2 XPM's. then he was Traded to the Bears. I couldn't find what we got for him.

NEXT! A Up-Date:
* Punter - Johnny Hekker - 2012 Present ( He's going into his 5th Season with the Rams!!

He's now totaled 336 Punts for 15687 Yds. w/ a long of 68 Yds. had 2 Blocked/ and his Average is 46.7

Passing he's 6 of 10/ 60%/ for 99 Yds. and 1 TD w/ a long of 21 Yds./ a 9.9 Aver. w/ a QBR of 126.7 / Defensively he's had 2 FR's and 1 Tackle.

He's now been to 2 Pro Bowls and been Named All-Pro twice!! AGreat Choice by Snead and Company!!
GO RAMS!!

In a game of field position. What Hekker brings to our team can't be understated.

My guess is he'll get another Pro Bowl appearance after this year and another All-Pro spot! He's definitely on his way to becoming the Best Punter the Rams has ever had!!

GOAT

 

[Farr Be It]

Some more great contributions from @T-REX on today’s thread.

Only 3 to ever wear the number 6 for the Rams. Is it possible we will retire the #6 some day?

GOAT I do not believe to be an exaggeration.
