- Rams get boost with ‘The Thiccer Kicker’ signing
The post Rams get boost with 'The Thiccer Kicker' signing appeared first on ClutchPoints .
The Los Angeles Rams are trying to find themselves a consistent kicker. The kicking possession is becoming stronger and stronger, and this is one of the rare positions on the Rams that isn't solidified.

Joshua Karty is 10-15 on the season on field goals and only 23-26 on extra-point attempts. He has cost the Rams a good amount of points. The Rams are creating sudden competition at the kicking position.
The Rams have signed kicker Harrison Mevis , who recently played for the UFL. Mevis was the kicker for Missouri who nailed a 61-yard game-winner against Kansas State two seasons ago.
"The Rams are signing K Harrison Mevis — a.k.a. "The Thiccer Kicker" — who stands 6'0″, 242 lbs. He went 20-of-21 on field goals with the UFL's Birmingham Stallions."
Mevis certainly has a leg and has already proven to be a clutch kicker. If Mevis can continue to keep his clutch gene, then he could emerge as a starting kicker in this league, whether it is with the Rams or a different organization. The Rams will certainly give him a chance to become the starter, with Karty likely one miss away from having a new role with the team.

Being a kicker is not easy; they deal with a lot of backlash for missing kicks. However, you can become a hero more often than not. Field goals are a massive part of the sport of football, and making them at a consistent level can get you seriously paid.
Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Cam Little nailed an NFL-record 68-yard field goal in the win over the Las Vegas Raiders last Sunday. Little is just 22 years of age and is on pace to become a legend in this sport by already hitting a 70-yarder in preseason.
