Is Johnny Hekker the greatest Rams special teams player of all time?

This is easily Tony Horne IMO.

The GSOT first playoff game, were trailing at halftime. Horne swung the tide in that game and was the best kick returner we've ever had.

Yes, it's Hekker.
Greatest punter, single handedly saved us in several games with his foot and arm during the Fisher era.

Close behind is Wilkins who caught his own onside kick in the playoffs vs the Panthers and was always "money" whenever we needed him. (I met him and Dane Looker at a golf course near Branson, Mo. - they were super cool)

The Leg is tied with Money.

But, there is another.
Anyone remember the Fitzmagic debut against Houston? Down 2 scores and 2 QBs, the Rams needed more possessions.The Reverend Isaac Bruce put himself in on the kick coverage team, ran down the field, found the returner and forced a turn over, just like that. Because Isaac Bruce was a mother fucking Jedi Knight and he could do that kind of shit.
So, final answer: Bruce, because if he had wanted to be the Rams greatest STs player of all time, he would have been and nobody could have stopped him.

Wilkins was the best onside kicker I have ever seen, so he gets the edge over Hekk imo

 

[CoachAllred]

Hekker is the best punter is Ram History as to best special team player of all time IMO, Henry Ellard, Leroy Irvin & Ron Brown would rank up there as well.

LOL Had completely forgotten about Ellard being a punt returner.

 

[CoachAllred]

No love for the bare footed 1???

Man ya'll are bringing up names that my old ass had completely forgotten

 

[CoachAllred]

Maybe not the greatest but for making biggest ST play in Ram history has to be
Joe Horne against Vikings. He completely shifted any momentum Vikings had to start the second half.

honorable mention Frank Corral against Tampa.

Wilkins.

11 great years. He gets my vote.

But, Hekker is awesome and has time to add to his legacy.

Jeff Wilkins is the leader scorer in Ram history.

So I gotta go with him.

I still HATE kickers though. Make no mistake. Fuck them all to hell.

Funny. Did you see in that draft house video where Hekker says something to the effect of "kickers are people too".

I'm leaning Hekker.
The guy has pinned so many offenses deep into their own territory.

He's also ripped many down field, when we were buried in our own territory.
Add in his arm talent on fake kicks and he's a hell of a weapon.

In a game of field position, Hecker is absolutely dominant.

And he had a couple clutch FGs when GZ went down.

Hekker it is. Best Rams Ginger too?

Hekker is close. TD passes should be recognized. But he does need to get his mojo back and play a few more years at the top of his game.

Hes been the most fun, thats for sure.

 

[Memento]

So you have the bobblehead too?

Oh, man, I wish. I have a Pace and Faulk bobblehead. I want Ike's, Torry's, and S-Jax's bobbleheads. I also have a Freese bobblehead, and a very special Yadier Molina/Roberto Clemente bobblehead that I made damn sure I was going to get to the game to get it.

 

[Deadpool]

Of all time?

Let us wait till he is done.

Of all time has many competing.
