The Rams parted ways with a fan favorite this off-season, as longtime Rams punter Johnny Hekker was released by the team in a cap creating move. Hekker ultimately signed with the Carolina Panthers, leaving a gap in the Rams punting game for the upcoming season.
In order to fill this gap, the team felt as if they needed to make a move, so they signed two punters to compete for the right to be the 2022 Rams punter. One is a veteran by the name of Riley Dixon, while the other is a rookie that was signed as an undrafted free agent by the name of Cameron Dicker.
