Season so far
It is still very early in the season for Johnny Hekker, who has appeared in just a single contest totaling 14 snaps. In his lone outing against Tampa Bay, he posted a 68.3 special teams grade, settling right around replacement level. The performance featured high-end flashes, highlighted by a booming 63-yard punt pinned near the goal line and reliable holding on two 50-plus-yard field goals. However, his overall grade was dragged down by operational issues, including a delay of game penalty and a mis-hit 36-yard punt in the fourth quarter. Because he has only played one game so far, his trajectory remains to be determined as he seeks greater consistency.
