The "Thiccer Kicker" has already been eaten up just five weeks into the 2026 campaign.
According to NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport, the Los Angeles Rams are set to part ways with kicker Harrison Mevis. The 24-year-old began his NFL journey with the Carolina Panthers back in 2024.
Mevis, a Warsaw, Ind. native, built up a decorated four-year run at the University of Missouri before cracking into the pros. He was a freshman All-American in 2020, a first-team All-American and first-team SEC selection in 2021 and a second-team SEC selection in 2023.
Carolina signed Mevis as an undrafted free agent in July of 2024. He went on to appear in one preseason contest that summer, where he made a 41-yard field goal, and would be waived just a few days later.
Following brief stints with the United Football League's Birmingham Stallions and New York Jets, Mevis landed with the Rams in November of 2025. That season saw Mevis boot through 12 of his 13 field goal attempts and all 39 of his extra points.
2026, however, has been a much different story—as Mevis has made five of his nine field goal tries.
