On his Instagram, Los Angeles Rams’ Offensive Tackle, Andrew Whitworth, announced his retirement from football.
The 40-year-old went out on top, anchoring the Rams to their first Super Bowl win in Los Angeles, in a year where he also won the coveted Walter Payton Man of the Year.
Whitworth played his college ball at LSU, and was taken by the Cincinnati Bengals in the Second Round of the 2006 Draft. Although he became a starter as a rookie, Whitworth didn’t break out until his 30s, earning his first Pro Bowl at 31 in 2012. Earning a First Team All-Pro in 2015, and a second Pro Bowl, Whitworth secured a third in 2016, his last with the Bengals.
Whitworth signed with the Rams in 2017, and in his first year in L.A., he was again a First Team All-Pro, and captured his fourth and final trip to the Pro Bowl. With his retirement, Whitworth leaves the game with 239 Games Played, and his 142 in Approximate Value is currently 88th all-time.
With his play in the last half of his career, Whitworth carved out a case for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, which he is eligible for 2027.
We here at Notinhallofame.com would like to wish Andrew Whitworth the best in his post-playing career.
