Who is Ryan Mevis aka 'the Thicker Kicker'?

Ryan Mevis is the Rams' place kicker who kicked the game-winning 42-yard field goal to send Los Angeles to the NFC Championship game.

Mevis is in his first year with the Rams and only joined the team a few months ago after the team waived their previous kicker during the season.

The Rams are technically the first team Mevis has played games for, as he didn't get any in-game action with any of the teams that had signed him to their practice squad in the past.

His nickname 'the Thiccer Kicker' is due to his 6-0 height and 245 lb frame.

He played four seasons at Missouri in college, making 89 field goals across 50 career games.

He was featured in nine regular-season games this year with the Rams, going 12/13 on FGA.

Mevis continued to be impactful during the postseason so far for the Rams, going 2/2 on FGA against the Panthers in the Wild Card Round.

He once again went 2/2 on FGA against the Bears on Sunday, with the game-winner as the most notable play.
