Harrison Mevis looks a bit different than most kickers in the NFL.
In the modern parlance, the Los Angeles Rams‘ placekicker is “Thicc” — thus his nickname, “The Thiccer Kicker.”
Yeah, he’s got some extra weight on him relative to his peers, but that hasn’t held him back. If anything, it helps him have an especially booming right leg.
The reality about Mevis is that he’s so much more than his weight, and that’s been true dating back to his collegiate days at Missouri.
Even back then, Mevis went viral on college football Saturdays for being a big fella who could crush the ball through the uprights.
Nothing has changed. He’s simply doing it in a different uniform on an even bigger stage now.

The most notably heavy kicker in NFL history is Sebastian Janikowski, who was a 260-pound lefty for the Oakland Raiders and then the Seattle Seahawks.
Mevis certainly isn’t far off.

The 2026 season will be his first chance at a full-time kicking role in the NFL. Before the Rams had brought him aboard last season, the Jets considered him, but they went in a different direction and probably regret that now.
Mevis has been a stocky kicker for a long time, but really the only thing that matters is that he’s a good kicker.
