Apparently Johnny Hekker never realized how much bigger, stronger and more intimidating non-specialists are in the NFL. During the Rams' stunning 23-17 victory over the Seahawks in Week 16, the St. Louis punter's odd attempt to send a physical message hilariously backfired.

Hekker was flagged for the hit but that wasn't enough punishment, at least according to Avril and Seattle teammate Michael Bennett. Watch as Avril terrifies the fourth-year punter before Bennett finishes him off.
