We’re 10 days away from the Panthers 2022 season opener, so that means today’s countdown piece is devoted to No. 10 on the roster — punter Johnny Hekker.
If you get excited about good punting, this article is for you!
The Panthers signed Hekker as a free agent this offseason on a 3-year, $7.6 million contract. Hekker had spent his entire 10-year career with the Rams before coming to Carolina. Over the past decade he has established himself as one of the league’s best punters as evidenced by his four All-Pro and four Pro Bowl awards.
