Hekker, a former Bothell High standout, drew the ire of the Seahawks’ defensive linemen Sunday after shoving Avril to the ground on a previous punt.
The hair on Johnny Hekker’s head had yet to dry from his postgame shower when a teammate propped a cellphone in front of his face to show him the video.

Hekker, the St. Louis Rams’ Pro Bowl punter and former Bothell High School standout, went from to smiling to chuckling to full-out laughing as he it transpire.
