The St. Louis Rams announced punter Johnny Hekker as the team’s Community Player of the Week for week 10.
“It’s a great honor to be Community Player of the Week,” Hekker said. “With so many teammates making a big effort to impact the community, it means a lot to be recognized and chosen as the select guy to represent the team and their efforts for the week.”
Hekker’s staple in the community has been his continued efforts working with children with special needs. Recently, Hekker visited Team Activities for Special Kids, a non-profit which provides athletic and social opportunities to kids with special needs to help build self-esteem and skills in children with special needs.
