There are few players who had a better half of their NFL career than Andrew Whitworth.

Whitworth began his pro career in 2006 with the Bengals, but his first Pro Bowl did not happen until 2012, when he was already past 30.  After two more Pro Bowl with Cincinnati (2015 & 2016), he signed with the Rams in 2017, adding his fourth Pro Bowl. 

Providing a veteran and cerebral presence with the Rams, Whitworth helped L.A. make it the Super Bowl in 2018, but it was a losing effort to the Patriots.  Playing until he was 40, Whitworth remained one of the better Tackles in Football, and he punctuated his career with the perfect finale.  On the day before the Super Bowl, Whitworth was named the Walter Payton Man of the Year, and he played a key role in Los Angeles’s Super Bowl LVI win.  

What a way to call it a career!
